<< Mayday
 
Third Time Lucky >>
[Nervous Laughter (E1 5B), 3 kb]The steep slab through the 2 slight roofs right of Mayday, has plenty of holds to make up for the less than plentiful protection Follow Third Time Lucky passing and obvious rock scar on the left until a small ledge beneath a bulge. Surmount the bulge with care and gain the slabs above, climb these and then the steeper slab above (crux) to a second overlap. Bigger holds abover this lead up and slightly left to a loose finish. Belay on nearby stumps of far away trees.

Easy climbing but I wouldn't fancy testing the gear!
Sean Kelly - Lead - 20/Apr/13 with Harry Pearce

8 wires and 2 cams in 20 ish metres seemed quite reasonable to me. most were small but all solid

Technically only 5a but the gear is tricky to arrange and you need a big selection of micros and small cams/tricams to make it safe.

Easier than Third Time Lucky. Friendly climbing but hardly inspiring gear.
