First go on top rope-decided to practice first as I hadn't rock climbed for 3 months. Fingers absolutely freezing, gale force buffeting winds so felt challenging. Foot popped just below 3rd bolt on lead attempt, will go next time-too cold for more attempts. Great route but NOT E5 imo

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.

Second go ground up, as i fell off it once last summer trying it in my comfy shoes. 7a+?
jacobjlloyd - Lead RP - 18/Mar/12 with Sian, Ben Corbey

Niiice!! Had a couple of ground-up efforts on this in 09/10 but got no further than 1st bolt. Also had a play on the medium a few weeks back so inadvertantly did the top. Surprised myself everytime I moved past the next bolt and just lucked the 6b sequence before the 3rd bolt. Did the top weirdly as I couldn't remember owt so combining os-ing the crux, with having the draws in and the G-up efforts I'm taking a flash. Awesome, cheers to Al for the encouragement, hero. Unsure on 7a+ or E5 grade as this would be my first of either.

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.
