mattking_109 - AltLd - 27/Apr/13 with Ally Rocke

Steadily climbed the first pitch on good Jams. Stuggled with second after much faff trying to work out the sequence. My only pro, a sling, popping off the flake just as I'd committed to the move out to the crack, left me hanging around the top of the crack trying to faff some pro in somewhere, before giving up and instantly finding the 'magnificent' hold. ran out the top of pitch 2 with ease. Found pitch 3 A bit broken and uninteresting but in a nice enough position. back down to the ODG for beer and Sticky toffee pudding. Pefect!

Second attempt at this route after a failure a couple of years back. Found the first pitch quite committing. Mark was due to lead 2nd pitch, but was out of practice. I took over and found myself in a similar position to last time and still didn't like it. Reversed back to the belay and tried a slightly different way which was much easier. Mark lead P3. P1 the crux IMO.

Jenny Hall - 2nd dnf - 25/Sep/11

simeclimb68 - AltLd O/S - 25/Sep/11 with Phil Layton

Slightly scary balance move on first pitch, then a desparate blast up the third pitch crack when I realised I was in danger of a ground fall, with no prospect of getting any pro in. Found a nice ledge to stand on to the right of the block, then stepped around it after I'd had a rest. Finally got a hex in.....phew. Plain sailing for the last few metres.
Phil Layton - AltLd O/S - 25/Sep/11 with simon

1st two pitches were bone dry but the last very wet pitch was desperate in its drenched state. Alan took lead on this skipping the traverse in the fading light.
Conan - AltLd - 16/Aug/11 with Clare A, Alan Thorpe

Bottom part was ace. Top part was soaking wet and scary to lead. Was getting dark so we ducked out onto the decent ledge below thw bad step down.
tech - AltLd O/S - 16/Aug/11 with Conan Harrod

Found this route V hard, especially the bottom pitch. Fell off first time but managed it the second time - not quite sure how. Would like to do it again, maybe next summer now! Top bit was a bit wet!

The first two pitches are lovely. Slipped once off the polish on the crux of the second pitch but somehow managed to catch myself and continue. Pitch two gets 4c in my guidebook but I'd put it closer to 5a in terms of how strenuous the crux is. Thankfully that section is also short and well protected.

Led all three pitches. Pitch one had a large cam wedged in the crack but unfortunately could not liberate. Pitch two also had a nut wedged in a good position but now looking a bit rusty. Its only a matter of time.....

Lead P1. P2 far too windy; mark tried and bailed due to wind; I got no further. Had to ab off. Shame; nice climb and could see how to do the moves.
gav - Lead dnf - 18/Jun/09 with Mark

Awkward 1st pitch crack. Great moves on 2nd pitch. Wandered a little off route on 3rd (into grove right of block then hand traversed way above block...). Seconds took a few falls. :-)

My first and third pitch. Third pitch was gopping so escaped out right after the first half of it! Probably least favourite route for the weekend! Found the first pitch uninspiring, the second pitch was fun but over very quickly and the third pitch was unclimbable. Heigh ho!

Top pitch only; awkward getting off ground but with nice big juggy holds. The traverse is fantastic - forget the airy position and concentrate on the climbing and it is very positive.

Phew! Just about at the upper end of my ability at the moment. Definately harder that n the other VS I have done. Excellent route following crack systems up and my introduction to hand jamming. Stiff first couple of pitches and slippy final pitch to add to the fun. The descent is almost as steep.
