A brilliant and revolutionary route which gives superb sustained climbing which is never desperate. Spend a few weeks stamina training at the climbing wall then go for it and you may get an 8a tick. © ROCKFAX

Finally put this nemesis to bed. 1st attempt of the day - finishing as the top groove was starting to get wet in the rain.

hard, harder than i expected. struggled with traverse (pumpy), cross-through move to slot (where do my feet go?) and then moves right into groove at top (no footholds!) all a bit rushed due to tide. need another go to get a real feel for moves but great to be on the route after walking past it so much...
