lukehodson - Lead RP - 10/Sep/11 with Little Tom

If you're short, there is a very reachy move at the start of the crux, which I just couldn't do :(

Bristoldave - Lead dog - 22/Aug/10 with duncan

First time leading attempt on this beast. 2 goes but no joy, kept falling right at the very last move before the ledge after all the hard work to get there.

Worked the moves
Vertigo1 - TR - 05/Aug/10 with Ross

So, so close to on-sight. Fell off the last possible move. Skipped 2nd to last bolt. Not 7b, I though it was benchmark 7a+ but might concede that it as "hard 7a+"
Richard Hall - Lead RP - 26/Jul/10 with Anais

Failed onsight misread sequence, not to bad once you know it got it next go, 7a+. A bit scary for one move but plenty of positive holds.
loundsy - Lead RP - 16/Jul/10 with marcus

Hard crux section, took a lot of goes to grab and then hang the big left hold. Few bits of crumbly rock but generally quality route.

Warmed up on the bouldering wall ot the left of the crag - 5 up problems and a hand traverse. A good find, someone should write it up.
