[John Roberts leading breaking the barrier, 3 kb]26m. An enjoyable & varied route which would make a good first extreme. From a low triangular foothold, ascend the vertical cracklines in the centre of the slab, making a tricky step rightwards just above half height. Finish on good holds up the steep corner above.

Felt far more confident on it this time. Thought the most difficult part was at the bottom, just after placing the first runner.
