Not feeling 100% still found it pleasant. Not very challenging. First multi-pitch experience.

The first ascent of the season? A sodden first pitch then got jammed in the chimney (stick to the outside and don't wear a rucksack!) and a mini fall when a foot slipped on the wet stuff. All worth it for the view on exiting the chimney. Not the most inspiring climbing but the location and view made it a fab route

Topping out into the sunshine after a lot of grimy chimney action... perfect! Led p3.

Lead all 3 pitches. First ever multi-pitch lead. Awsume route any climber of all ability's should enjoy this one, what an adventure and a great day out. Thanks goes to Edd for the master class of gear placement and setting up belays and positive motivation......also to the vegue guide action 'climb and you'll see the belay, it's just up there'! Epic day out, very nice top out. Will repeat again.

Led P2. The whole climb was like the sort of scramble I'd have done without protection as a kid. Great view from the top though.

Clambered up muddy gullys to reach bottom of this climb... have been thinking about this climb or a long time... but the weather and time got the better of us - so only tackled pitch 1... then abbed back down to the start of the route...
richardadventurecafe - Lead - 21/Nov/10 with Chris Wilson

Led the last pitch of 3. Haven't really done any trad so was amazing. First time i have been tio the top of the gorge and first multi pitch i have done at the gorge. Foregot about the out of season rule until after when we saw the sign. Whoops. Sorry. left the south side and went straight to the North side for the rest of the day. Lucky it was first thing.

Have climbed this route several times before. Top of pitch 2 is a bit loose & nasty with poor protection. Very nice climb
SC - Lead - 10/Oct/09

Really enjoyable - the step across from the top of the pinnacle not that bad -even for a shortie like me.

Very enjoyable easy climbing. Climbed after "Jill" as an enchainment. Tom led first pitch - not much gear but lots of plants! I then stung the last two pitches together - lots of good gear and pleasant climbing. I ended up abseiling down into the car park (in the dark) as the others appeared on the path right next to me...oops! Tom then wandered down with them!

Led in three pitches. Pitch one was quite vegetated with a selection of fairly crap protection, pitch two was more entertaining, bomber protection, and a very small chimney that managed to entrap me halfway up, much to the amusement of Steve. Pitch three was nice, good pro again, but the bold stride was more of a leap if done from the very top of Knight's Pinnacle, so I downclimbed into the gap and stepped across at full stretch, onto the wrong part of the slab, and made some hasty 4a moves back onto the correct line. The paths from the top of Knight's Climb back down to the road seem to have gone, so either abseil back down, or take the morons route (guess which we chose) back along the well defined footpath to the top of the gorge, and walk back down to your car. Felt more like vd/hvd at points.

A scrambling climb bit fun never the less, not ideal on a wet day as overgrown in places.
