26m. Follow Ghenghis to the first bolt, then up left passing two further bolts to an exiting finishing move,easier for the tall!

First E4! Done after Khubla Khan. Very sustained and had to make some tricky moves quite far from the bolts. Did manage to get some rests in.

Unbelievable - climbed cleanly and steadily all the way, then fell off literally millimetres from clipping the top bolt! So annoyed, and bruised heels to remind me never to drop the top again!

Nice route, was feeling good so got on it, felt straight forward and easier than Slug club.

Hard for the short at top, felt like the crux to get top ledge. sustained, calf-pumping, harrassing, excellent. Didnt start up khubla, nearly e5 imo.
