I bloody love/hate this climb. Insecure!
greenroom - 2nd O/S - 04/Apr/12 with Colin

Brilliant. Tenuous, slightly run out climbing up the groove, then a delightful move out to the arete above.
victim of mathematics - Lead O/S - 04/Apr/12 with Frith

The groove is definitely the crux; quite thin and the only bit which is away from gear. Overall a good short climb and very reasonable at the grade.

Fun route, smeary corner and some nice airy moves above this. A guy on Laugh Knot took an enormous gear ripping fall which made our ascent that bit more exciting!

As it says in the book "you're ok unless you lose confidence in your feet", this went through my head like a mantra as I tiptoed through the undercut fearing I would lose my footing.
