took me awhile to get the bottle to reach out for the ledge.. had to work out the right holds and position.. but all came together and was quite pleased with it..

excellent climbing
caradoc - Lead O/S - 10/May/11 with danny c

Luke Brooks - 2nd - 06/May/11 with Konrad Doyle

Backed off late last year after doing the Dervish, but went into a different foothold sequence this time and made the span to the ledge nicely. Good route but questionable for 3 stars I'd say?
Cragrat Rich - Lead O/S - 30/Apr/11

Hidden - Lead O/S - 30/Apr/11

Fire Marshall - Lead O/S - 30/Apr/11 with Cragrat Rich

I scootled up and left of the 2nd bolt. Wasn't sure I wasn't supposed to continue up the seam up and right instead, but that was clearly gonna be harder. Might have been a cheat but whatever, it would be eliminate to avoid the easier option when it is obviously on. E2 still generous, although shorties might disagree.

one pretty hard move after the first bolt. pretty cool route. first bolt is quite high though.
ollieben - 2nd - 31/Oct/10 with max stanley

McGuinness - Lead O/S - 11/Oct/10 with Ian ll-j

A reachy clip to the first bolt, due to being anxious to make it as it is a bit off the deck, after that good footwork and a thoughtful move makes the good hold. From the ground the line looks rather unlikely!
