Far more do-able than I had ever imagined. Looks like it will be scary on lead, but will definately be back to get this one properly. Awesome climbing, super thin with some a properly awesome moves

Slipped off at the top after the crux. Got it clean second time.
shed_hed - TR RP - 04/Nov/12 with Dougie Swanson-Low
Came off the crux. Got back on and finished it. Nice climb. Couldn't remember the moves on lead for some reason and apparently I climbed it with a different sequence on lead from when on top rope...
Tried it again on lead again after but came off at the same place.

hard. couldn't stick the moves above the 2nd bolt, feet were killing me. abbed down afterwards to clean the draws and the holds/climbing above don't look too bad. definitely one to try again next time.

I think I like slate climbing. Onsighting this did not feel like a sport route! I would definitely feel short changed with f7a... you would hit the floor from at least 2 different places on route!

on the shunt. couple falls but it went better than expected. lead next time, but maybe one more cheeky top rope first.

Preclipped first bolt.
DafSWMC - Lead RP - 30/Jul/11 with Gareth
This is hard! To be expected at the grade I suppose. Foot popped just below the third bolt. THe crux move is desperately thin! It was nearly all over... Feet were pretty sore so I lowered off a convenient mallion rather than carry on for the dog. Awesome route, bring good stiff edges! This definitely felt harder than the 7a its given in the guidebook. 7a+ seems fair to me.

Got wrong footed on the crux and fell off cause i'm shit. It was so nice topping out when I got it next go though, in the beautiful sun and with roper below... Cheers for the beta... should have waited till the hole in my finger healed though.
