kevg - Lead dog - 06/Oct/12 with Fraser

RAH - Lead RP - 21/Sep/12

Put the clips in then 3rps...two new sequences learnt (i think). Quite hot today poor friction!
ANC - Lead dog - 22/May/12 with Jules, Amanda

very warm and greasy but individual moves came back to me mostly and all felt ok.
julesp - Lead dog - 22/May/12 with amanda and angus

Put the clips in and then two red point attempts. Easy to the 'Marlina' crack and thereafter really just learning experiences. Got some particularly good beta at the end of the day and during attempts. Project.
ANC - Lead dog - 16/May/12 with Jules, Amanda, Stuart S

Clean to marlene crack, would have been asking too much to get it first try even with beta. Seems sequency. Will need a couple of goes to work it out better. Defiantly much harder than HT and UN.

ali_robb - Lead RP - Mar/11

Hidden - 2011

Fell off final move... twice. Can't get any closer.
andyinglis - Lead dnf - 18/Sep/10 with Angus N Clark

3rd session. Couldn't stick the hold below the finishing jug.... frustratingly close.
andyinglis - Lead dog - 11/Sep/10 with Neil Adams

First 7c (depending on which guide you believe...)
Neil Adams - Lead RP - 09/Sep/10 with Andy Inglis

Can't believe I hadn't tried this before
Sam the Butcher - Lead RP - 12/Jul/10 with adam

Hidden - Lead dog - 12/Jul/10

Unsure whether Marlina is 7c or not? Then add in the purse groove to seal the deal :-) "Marlinas Purse" feels like a better line anyway.
sheppy - Lead RP - 24/Apr/10 with simon

Sweet. Done on my 1st redpoint attempt. Felt quite easy as these things do when you get it right.
Dangerous Dave - Lead RP - 14/Mar/10 with Marcus

Got good beta on top section hopefully will nail it next time.
Dangerous Dave - Lead dog - 11/Oct/09 with Marcus

Got a sequence on the last section where it goes left. Not sure its a good one though!
Dangerous Dave - Lead dog - 01/Oct/09 with Polish Pete

Very technical. Shame it's so far away!
whistler - Lead dog - 01/Oct/09 with Dangerous Dave

Harder than teddies, probably easy 7c
akhughes - Lead RP - 29/Aug/09 with Emma Hughes

6 days work! More that teddys. Harder than hamish teds, if hamish is 7b+ then this is definately 7c. Lead hamish straight after i lead marlina and its a lot easier. whatever though, glad to have it done! Awesome route.
mhairi thorburn - Lead RP - 25/Aug/09 with adam

Greg Boswell - Lead RP - 04/Jun/09 with Andrew Innes

Ally Baba - Lead RP - 26/May/09 with Gav Swinton

1st redpoint after falling high on the flash, more like 7c, harder than Teddy's
willackers - Lead RP - 28/Mar/09 with Stew, Jeans, Nick, Litster

Quite tricky at end. Probably deserves 7c.
Nicolas Duboust - Lead RP - 25/Mar/09

Hidden - Lead RP - Mar/09

Marlene? The moves are OK, even had 1 go at the RP, but if I said I wasn't completely shut down by this I'd be lying.
