5c Wall (HVS)
Hound Tor, Dartmoor., 3 kb]5m. Originally graded 5C by the Old School, many say this is technically easier but it was probably deservedly given this grade as the Old School Guys thought it was a big wall to boulder. If you make your way around the Granite Block right of Aerobic Wall you will find a neat, steep problem straight up the centre of the wall with a few horizontal breaks. The crux is low but dont fall off the top.

Either a micro trad route or boulder problem depending on whether you have mats or not, which in this case I didn't

A good little solo then a epic multi-pitch route ...
