[The crux, 3 kb]16m. Takes direct line up the wall to the left of Bass Drum Heart. The first half has no protection whilst the more difficult top section is protected by a thread and Dixon ironmongery. The crux is left right till the end! Sustained.

Stunning route, top roped cleanly once then lead first go putting the gear in. Almost off on last move, spicy times!

could not figure out a very reachy move above the huge hole (being 5'5); up to there lovely pocket pulling

Amazing climb! Unfortunately I ripped the good bit off the undercut at the top. The long move at the top is a bit harder now.

Get in!Tried yesterday on tr a few times found a few bits tricky so worked them but didnt think the top move was possible with my reach; later in the evening got beta off Boothy for top move and managed to get top crimp off two lower smears at full reach. 1rp yesterday, 2nd rp today. At 5'9 with a slightly negative ape index the top move is just reachable, so chuffed to latch it. Bold start. E7/8 6c, F7c/+ imo.

Not a flash but they dont have a ground-up option, and it definately wasnt a redpoint. Fell off on flash attempt on the (relatively) easy deep-mono move after havin to really try to get through first crux! Cam ripped and smacked me in the head - bled everywhere. Lowered off, came back the next day and sent! Top crux felt ok, locked the undercut up to the crimp easily, then pullin through felt insecure! E7 6b/c - 2 hard cruxes but both safe. Easier for tall
