haha had a nightmare popping off greasy holds on the first couple of moves, swang into fuzzy belaying a couple of times, then just beared down and did it. Funny little route.

Took the easier start (miss out the first clip, start on the left and climb rightwards to the roof). Took a couple of goes to find the easiest way over the roof but got it in the end. Was a full on grovel though :-)
