Couldn't work out where it started so ened up leading a hybrid of this route and the one next door! First lead without expert advice on hand so not bad...

First climb of the day. After the comparatively tricky start, the rest of the climb is not too hard if the route is followed correctly...

Failed on this just below the belay station as I wasn't comfortable with making the final move in the (soaking) wet. Do-able though as Robin proved straight after.

Only climb of day, damp when Tim led it which made it difficult. When I seconded it rained quite hard and pretty much everything became useless! Somehow managed it but feet slipped off a lot.
