Ross Barnes - AltLd - 16/Mar/13 with James

Great route! Great condition. Slightly scetchy. Good ice on it.
RocKalina - 2nd - 23/Feb/13 with Andyclimb

Pete23 - AltLd - 07/Feb/13 with Will

Adam lead P1, P3, I lead P2. Abbed off after P3. Great ice in today's condition. Gear was hard to find. Good route!
masa-alpin - AltLd O/S - 02/Feb/13 with Adam Booth

Bold. V 6 seems a bit misleading. The hard bits (teetering up super thin ice) were all well above the runners, luckily it was quite easy despite the scariness. Cool route. 50m ropes got us back to broad gully from the rap point.
Adam Booth - AltLd O/S - 02/Feb/13 with Masa

walked in for the second day in a row to do 'central grooves' but was beaten to it both days! even after leaving the car park earlier today! did this as a consolation and turned out to be a nice route, little bit bold in places but quite straight forward climbing.
James S - AltLd O/S - 24/Jan/13 with edvin

No ice at all, just an unhelpful quantity of snow. The slab after the initial chimney seemed impossible. In those conditions the route goes hard left up a steep little corner. It took us ages to figure that out.

Led P2. We abbed off from the top of P2 as we were all cold and wet after too much faffing
oliverk - AltLd dnf - 22/Dec/12 with Tim E, Marty

2 slow pitches and abbed as darkness was approaching. Led p2 after failing to get off the deck on p1 (thrutch-meister Willie showed how it was done).
niallk - AltLd dnf - 02/Dec/12 with Willie

There was thin ice build up on the slabs, mainly snow which made it hard for Will and Libby. In situ tat at the belays made it similar to a sports route, though the tat was very dodgy. I'd have removed them if they weren't frozen in place.

Hidden - AltLd - 21/Jan/12

I lead pitches 1 and 3. Deep snowing to start. Not much gear on whole route but nice delicate climbing on Slabby sections due to little ice.
Rick Ashton - AltLd - 17/Dec/11 with Derek Stevenson

robertmichaeladams - AltLd - 10/Dec/11 with Tom

nice. lots of snowice on the slabby bits

tim newton - AltLd O/S - 22/Feb/11 with lee leatherbarrow

Good route - hard going in unconsolidated snow. Came off just above the crux placing gear when my footholds collapsed - held by axes in turf. The whole crag was thawing quite badly, soaked to the skin.

Classic stuff. Quite icy, so crux pitch need digging for gear, but allowed a few foot placements on the slab.

Originally given IV when done.Crux not too difficult.
