9m. Good moves up the narrow slab. The easily-placed side-runners make the name a misnomer. © ROCKFAX

Flows beautifully. Committing to solo but steady, very soft 5b.

really nice slab climbing that felt perfect for my height with lots of high steps on fairly positive holds. Really glad I soloed it as there was no gear anyway and placing side runners would have been a bit weird

HVS 5b in the new guide felt about right (without side runners).

Was graded HVS in the book i had, went up the middle without side runners and got 2 small freinds in along the way. Nice moves.

Used a corner pretty near the crack, unsure if it was in or not

Bit of a silly eliminate really...better to solo than lead...I led it and used protection, but it just felt wrong using another line (albeit protection only)...quite hard moves though!
