Kafoozalem - AltLd O/S - 13/Sep/09 with Martin Butler
Put too much gear in on the first pitch, run out of quick draws and had to down climb to collect some from lower on the route. Belay point doesn't have much protection (apart from a sling around the boulder). Second pitch seemed harder than the grade suggests.

Tom Last - Lead O/S - 05/Sep/09 with Chester
Excellent route. If you don't want the excitement of the bouldery start, begin behind the huge block. Then a good idea to belay at the end of the initial traverse and complete the rest of the route in one pitch.
