Lowered off on the bolt below the rusty peg. Didn't fancy the run out to the next bolt.

There's a new right hand variation at the top, very nice consistent route, with a tricky start.

Surprisingly good now recently retrobolted. F6a+/b?
Jon Didymus - Lead O/S - 07/Nov/12 with Gordon

approximately this line (i think) is now retro-bolted as a sports climb with 1 peg inbetween that can be backed up with a medium size cam. start is maybe soft F6b, afterwards about 20 meters of F6a / F6a+ climbing. actually very enjoyable!
