The rock was pretty wet which made it quite exciting
Caspian Johnson - Lead RP - 30/Nov/12 with jamie greig

Enjoyable. Gear takes a while to put in, but there are hidden jugs every so often that relieve the nerves!

Superb balance climbing up thin cracks and crimps with very little for your feet. Must try to lead this if I ever return. An easy 5c I thought.
