Reading other peoples descriptions you would think this route was a VS???!!!! It is graded correctly. Nice moves at the bottom lead to nice hand jamming crack. Lower moves not for the faint hearted although protection is there.....

Got plenty of advice/abuse from my belayer...
Alex Thompson - Lead β - 01/May/13 with Haydn Martin

Martin Bennett - Apr/13

Green and slimy in places at the bottom but most useful holds OK so worrying but rather than actually harder. However some very slimy bits at the top actually made a difference. Good gear. Did not seem much easier than Tind although Tind was less slippy.

Jim Slater - Lead O/S - 12/May/12 with Graeme Hammond

Great climb, probably only HVS though, Led after Jim who stripped the line after his lead.

A great and varied route - deserves all three stars. Admittedly it had just been thoroughly cleaned.
