The shallow groove 20ft left of Cadillac leads easily to a small alcove beneath the flake. Layback to glory and an easier finish.

Only 5a climbing, but quite sustained around the crux so HVS seems fair.

fatbuoybazza - Lead O/S - 30/Aug/12 with liv_the_div

Really nice route. Very well protected and never really harder than 5a.
Andrew Sloan - Lead O/S - 18/Aug/12 with Tim

Brilliant. Not as hard as I thought it would be. Laybacking section was barely 5a, although I found getting to the alcove slightly harder. It would be pretty straight forward if you powered through without placing gear during the layback.

Wrong line taken at the square block; Rich went off right instead of going up the crack.

great moves all the way, especially the layback sequence round the flake. you just have to ignore the fact that one day that flake will fall down, hopefully not with climber attached.
msoldn - Lead O/S - 03/Sep/11 with Sam

why did i wait so long to head up there and get this climbed. excellent route. stopping on the layback to try and place some kit would be hard work. 3 stars. not sure about 5b too
stvredmond - Lead - 01/Sep/11 with Helen Norris

Awesome climb. Credit to steve for the lead. Layback is brilliant.
