A great little climb.It took me a while to work out where it went as the guide book description is odd! I think it starts at the RH end of the slab at a slight break in the overhang at a diagonally downwards pointing flake type thing. I moved up the obvious R to L crack and followed this passing a bush thing and a (not dead) tree. Above the tree you can place high gear in the continuation of the crack you've climbed. (It looks like some people exit above and very slightly right of this tree pulling on vegetation - it looked horrible!). Then I moved back down to a horizontal break for feet, and stepped L. You are now below the short (but intense for the grade) jamming crack that takes you through the mini-roof (this is the one on the crag photo). The climb gets very dirty here, so my guess is that not many people make it through the jamming! Above the crack place gear and pull up and right on more dirty rock and grass holds to an inset rock shelf thing. A sling around the tree will protect your second as they move onto the belay.

Damn crux defeated me on lead again! Need to work on my jamming! I blame the biblical swarm of midges...

Totally sandbagged by this one, vs? Really? nice climbing to the overhang til I fell, horrendous top out though, chickened out so didn't finish...

Lead up to the overhang, then backed off (again!) as couldn't get through. Ben then climbed up my gear and managed to jam his way up through the crack (good effort Ben!). I followed, but my jamming is a bit weak so sat in. Got it in the end though (although jam was very painful)! Interesting route, but need to work on my jamming skills!

Went right - bottled the jamming crack. Seems a hard move for VS.

Started left, under the overhang, which I think bumps it up to at least HVS.

Its very sustained for a VS with every move feeling like 5a, more like HVS. Needs more traffic to clean it up a bit. But still worth 2 stars

Grey and misty, just the one climb. Oh, the flies.

Great line, but very hard route. Moving up to the jamming crack is hard and getting through it is neigh on impossible (for me!) - much respect to Chris who led the route. Need to learn to jam better

Not sure if I was on route (or even on the right route?!), but could not do the move over/through the roof (to the left of the tree stump and holly tree).
