Scary! The bottom slab is totally unprotected until 6-7m. Carried on up as bailing out down or sideways looked even harder!

Good lead by Chris. the slab is rather delicate. The top seemed okay but I suspect it might be a different story on the sharp end of the rope.

Bold little start then a harder than expected finish. Good route.

The bush has covered up the top groove, finished via the opposite crack. The branch is cracking under it's own weight, it might fall off given time.
