["Gillian" (E3 5c) Sennen Cove, Cornwall, 4 kb]Enthralling wall-climbing, tempered by the need for careful gear placement. Start just left of the thin crack of Golva. 18m. Climb the thin left-slanting crack and then move up to a pocket. Continue slightly right and up to the first large horizontal break. Finish up the cracks and breaks. © ROCKFAX

Came off first attempt. Managed second time round. Brilliant climb and something for me to aspire to on a lead.

requires good faith to keep ploughing on to the jugs and gear then a well protected hard pull. pretty steady for the grade but high quality

Soft? Didn't seem that bold, harder than Golva though.

first moves past the jugs on the small crimps hard, really pumpy route even the easy moves at the top felt strenuous! will be back to lead at some point!

Nice to lead it again 24 years later. Much bolder than I remember with a skyhook between me and a potential 20ft groundfall so I don't agree with the well protected comments.
