Rested above the eyes. It will go next time! Lower parts are still fairly sandy.
bigdrew - Lead dog - 11/Jul/10 with Reuben

Enjoyable (and very safe). Good enough to be worth doing before it gets too polished (if you don't think you're going to get up it 'clean', go back to the climbing wall - please don't wear out real routes doing your training).
djones66 - Lead - 10/Jul/10 with Chloe

Nice route with mainly good juggy holds bar one section, a bit sandy in places.

Hidden - TR O/S - 30/Aug/09

Hard to find decent steep sport climbing at this grade. Ideal for anyone who trains on steep indoor walls. A bit spoilt by too many bolts: they're mostly only 3 - 4 feet apart so that you're more or less top rope it when you lead it. Bolting like that is appropriate for the start of a route to avoid a ground fall but not higher up. The anchor is pig's tail style rod that you can hook a bight of the rope into. However if you're not used to it I recommend taking a quickdraw to clip in with the first time as it can be a bit of a puzzle the first time.
