Led P3+4 together. Rather vegetated, but pleasant nonetheless.
Richard Alderton - AltLd - 28/May/12 with Matt Beringer

Alternate leads with Rich. Nice mountain multi-pitch. Bit green and wandering but the rock is good, if a little reluctant to give gear.

Bold start, first belay is unclear, moved straight to second stance. First few moves above this proved difficult and bold, took a while to make the moves, but then eases above (though still bold).

goose299 - Lead O/S - 22/Apr/11 with Andy Miller

Very wet in places, done in 2 pitches not 4, 1st pitch gear was very lacking but second pitch from the block had good gear where you needed it.

Led four pitches in 2, Liz led up to Jacks Rake and we then continued up that to summit. Far more wet rock than expected - at least 2/3rds of the route. Difficult route finding and poor gear

guidebook description is poor, gear and first belay are poor, better to run pitches 1 &2 together as second belay good. Oh, and rock is a bit wet and slimy in places In short:not over enthused pitches 1 & 3 ali, pitches 2 &4 me

Pleasant route. Easy climbing (couple of tricky moves at the start) but little gear. Missed the first belay at 24m, ended up going in two pitches one of 35(ish)m and another of 25m.
