Absolutely amazing route. Lovely moves, rock of the highest quality and one of the best routes i have done at any grade ever.

Simply brilliant! One of the best pitches of its grade I've done anywhere.
Bob - Lead O/S - 21/Jun/10 with S. Harry

Superb route on fantastic rock, probably the best on this bit of crag. The top slab is great. Squeezed in but very worthwhile.
