An excellent pitch, with the 3 distinct crux sections. I found working out how to get onto the slab from the belay a little perplexing and without a great amount of gear but once established on the slab the pro is excellent - mixture of small/mid size wires and biggish cams in the horizontals. Run out technical crux on the slab and stiff pull round the roof on reasonable holds.

Hard move through the roof, needed a tight rope.

Reminiscent of Silhouette on Cloggy which we did a few weeks ago. Slightly easier crux? Took a while to get a wire in over the lip before committing but it can be done. Such a satisfying pitch.

Slab climbing not my thing. Bugged out onto F Route.

Andrew Lodge - 2nd - 26/May/12 with Dave
Great climb, but too hard for me. I need to come back at a later date and do it without resting on the ropes.
guhj - 2nd dog - 09/May/12
Looked like it was going to rain but decided to take a look anyway, expecting to bug out but the climbing was too good to stop.

Harder than Whit's End Direct on the overlap but with better pro, a wee bit trickier lower down too so maybe 1/2 a grade harder overall. A fine pair of routes, just my style, a third sets of nuts 2-4 useful on both.
