1st trad lead of the year! Should have read up about the thread being a sod to place on lead, didn't have spare energy so wobbled my way up without.
Mark Riley - Lead O/S - 28/Jul/12 with Simon Witcher

gear in place
dave_rose - Lead RP - 01/Jul/12

the mono crux is still easier than the top slap for the slopey sandy break - much easier for taller

davidliu - Lead RP - 01/Jul/12 with Dave Rose

Abseiled down it to give it a clean and place the thread, then booshed it. Two big awesome crux moves warrant 6b but with good gear and rests in between maybe only E4...

Cailean Harker - Lead O/S - 05/Jun/12

Was told the thread was desparate to place on lead, so abbed it to find it quite easy to place as the thread is wide. Tried not to look at moves but enevitably saw holds especially in the lower reaches. Found move by peg hard to gain the sandy break.
Alex Mason - Lead β - 01/Sep/10 with Rich Cannell, Mikey G

E4 isn't it? pretty nice climbing most of it, but a bit of a two-move wonder, but its a nice route to test your strength a bit
anguskille - Lead RP - 16/Aug/10 with Dave

Deserves 3 stars. If you can find and place the totally miss-able thread - E4, without E5.
Rich Kirby - Lead O/S - 08/Jul/10 with Nick Bullock

monsteratt - 2nd dog - 26/Jun/10 with Morgan Strong Will
