Virgin on the Loose >>
The bolted indirect version of Virgin on the Loose. Joins Big Nose to a lower off. Moving right at the start is some what harder now. This can be bypassed by climbing the original direct start with the aid of a stick/pre clip.

Superb. Just sneaks into 7b+, would be 3 stars but for some loose rock. Ellie deserved the tick way more than me :(
Joe Costello - Lead RP - 17/Jul/12 with Ellie, James

Didn't feel that soft to me. Plus broke a hold off so the start is a bit trickier now

Warmed up at minus ten then did this in the pouring rain after the Sellars put the clips in. Back to the works to dry off. LTD!
