Easy but friable lower wall to a rest below the overlap. A superb sequence leads to better holds and a move left onto slabbier terrain. Recover then push on up to the big overlap and step left to a lower-off.

turned up to the crag with two right shoes, :( Then flashed this in one of Ians shoes, which made my left foot feel like a block of wood, :)

bigie bob - Lead O/S - 11/Jun/09

putting them in. Much easier when not raining.
Paz - Lead rpt - 11/May/09 with TS2

Failed to do it putting the clips in once more but very nice to do it again, and really good to let others have a good time on it on an otherwise totally grim evening (after the first two moves this really is the last route in Cheddar to stay dry after rain).
