P1,3,4/5. Three tops and a jacket, two pairs of trousers, hat, balaclava, scarf, gloves, socks under my climbing shoes and trainers to wear at the belays; and it was still colder than Calshot.

Good route. Max cycled to the crag. Shonky pegtastic.

All rather steep.
Tim Sparrow - AltLd - 15/Oct/11 with Ned
Did the first 3 pitches (all clean) then abbed off. Various excuses made - mostly lack of light and a tired Mike! Will be back to finish off when I get the chance. P3 felt hard.
Somerset swede basher - AltLd dnf - 06/Nov/10 with Mike Kann
Awesome. Pitch 1 bolder than it looks with a bit of dodgy rock, pitch 2 is a dordle then the fun starts. Good quality rock, exposed and steep and topping out into warm winter sunshine. The crow indeed lives on!!

possibly the slowest ascent ever - 7 hours up and down. had a little hang on the last easy pitch

Don’t believe the guide. The age of the crow lives on. A 3 star classic the route is in good condition and not over vegetated. Led all the pitches, joined 4/5 together. Most of the pegs are poor but can be backed up. Take care on belays use high runners for back up. Get on it; easy for the grade.
Marti999 - Lead O/S - 07/Nov/07 with Tom Thorp
I lead the first pitch, but found the route rather intimidating, so Stu led the rest

Much gardening en route. Pitch 3 was nails.
Chubbard - AltLd dog - 22/Jan/06 with C Godfrey
Clean ascent apart from slipping off seconding the last 5a pitch.
Wasn't unreasonably vegetated.
Lead P1 + P3. P3 is not 6a (but isn't 5b(!) neither) if you climb the vegetation up and left of the belay, but the bulge above was a bit urgent.
