Takes the centre of the face, right of Zoom. Use the creaky flake to gain the break, traverse left and then make the move up (crux) to crimps and top.

Onsight pulled up and went for the top... error and i ended up by Timmy, quite a good fall! I then got further and further away from doing it on 4 or 5 attempts after this but then Timmy got it and spurred on i did. Dunno the difference, I did it same way everytime! Quality boulder problem in the sky.

Nice... finally a soft touch at sliptones. E2 5c? Might feel harder if you don't use your head and miss the step left before final wall.
Jon Read - Lead O/S - 03/May/10 with andi turner

Dogged it on a TR too - can normally climb 6a ok though. Rockfax is probably right at 6b.
