Poor 1st 10m (take shovel if you do it and remove sone of that sh*t), but very good top 30m. Hard for grade, steep with continuous 'interest'.
jmr - Lead - 26/Feb/12 with Paul Greenhow

ElvisLeg - Lead O/S - 10/Aug/11 with Frances Fox

When start was identified no major problems. Odd move felt about 4b, but friction was poor due to the heat. No issues at all with rope drag.

KDW - AltLd - 29/Jan/11 with James

I thought this was though for a 4a Severe. Really enjoyable. not sure if my route finding was off. Some tough palming and bridging o pitch 3 (we did it in 3)

KDW - 2nd rpt - 06/Nov/10 with Andy

First long lead climb (40m). Harder than 'Severe' I think. Out of my comfort zone. Lots of cursing about 2/3rds of the way up. Pulse not back to normal till the evening.

martin one - 2nd - 28/Aug/10 with Neil Nand

Not a bad route but using the Climbers Club 2007 guidebook route finding is pretty damned hard, certain I wondered onto the HS next to it.

Spicerman - Lead O/S - 18/Oct/09

Set up a belay 5m from top as rope drag was bad. Plus couldn't work out the move as the rain came in. Rog bless him brought up my waterproof and finished the climb off as I voted for an Ab.

Hidden - 2nd O/S - 25/Jun/08

Cracking climbing (excuse the pun!!) But quite thuggish and reachy. Used 20 quickdraws and rope drag was a problem - could possible be split into two pitches?? Think I went off route near the top and onto Pappillon (HS finish)

Either i went the wrong way or i have lost the touch but i found this hard for a S 4a as given in the new CC book. It was great fun though!

Went completely off route after the first section, upped the grade to about VS. Great fun though.
