Couldn't clip last bolt - really big stretch out right for me. Finished on second. Would be so much better if finished at last bolt.

7b here, 7b+ in the guide, who knows - took the same sort of time as both Living Dead and House Burning Down. Still, nice route, good moves!
AJM - Lead RP - 25/Jul/11 with Charles Hubbard

Wendy - Lead RP - 17/Jul/11 with Tom Ball

3rd visit, about 6 or 7 goes overall. Loved it! New guidebook says 7b+, so I am quite happy to bag it as my first 7b+ tick!
Vertigo1 - Lead RP - 26/Jun/11 with Oliver Beesley

Really nice climb - great fun and annoyingly easy to drop unnecessarily at a few points! 7B+ in new guidebook - think more hard 7B myself.

soo close to o/s but woozed out at top :)really nice climbing though!
grey wolf - Lead RP - 13/Aug/10

Sustained power/balancy moves with a fuck off jug in the middle.
Alex Mason - Lead β - 24/Jul/10 with Laura Perry, Mikey G

robbed of the onsight, foot slipped off polised foothold when i was up on the big holds at the top. Wicked powerful moves - found a sweet heel to help with the crux!
Mike Goldthorp - Lead β - 24/Jul/10 with Laura Perry, alex mason

Shame about the finish but nice climbing below, hard 7b?
loundsy - Lead RP - 14/Jul/10 with wise

Did it yesterday after a few goes a couple of years ago. Think it may have lost a hold - reason for upgrade? Still soft touch for 7b+ though.

Really liked this route, nice bouldery start to a good rest and then another bouldery sequence. Then a technical traverse to finish. **

2nd go. New guidebook gives it 7b+. I thought it was soft 7b+. Best to just lob off from the top rather than doing the horrible traverse to the next belay or topping out.
