Apart from the interesting first part of the second pitch it was pretty scappy and uninspiring.

Little B - Lead O/S - 24/Sep/10 with Harry

MVS 4a 4b in guide book. Did 2nd pitch first :) best of the weekend, loads of med - large gear (take extra) rock a bit smooth at the bottom but of good quality even where overgrown. Nice crux move standing up from the chimney (dont get your gear caught). 1st pitch worst of the weekend (scramble-crux-scramble), waste of time advise ignore and walk up to 1st stance.

Climbed p2 only. Very good route, even the upper groove has clean rock and good protection amid the heather.

A bit soggy when we did it but very under-rated and well worth the effort
