nice climb, but very hard to do with elegance. With all the bumps and bruises I got, it better be a 5a not a 3b!
cactus111 - TR O/S - 10/Jul/11

Managed to complete this on the second attempt with much in the way of inelegant body jamming and inventive swearing!

Climbed in the dark, wasn't helped by the puddle in one of the top holds or the leaves in the crack!

how is this a 3b on UKC! Ok so maybe 5a is generous in the guide but it was still pretty tough.
