I'd say the moves are graded fair but Martin only managed to get one piece of gear in at the half way point. That is not VS.

The fingery second flake has come away at the bottom, making this harder than before, but a great lead.

Nice moves to start. I swear the flake moved when I stood on it to top out - be careful out there!

Awkward topout, could feel flake creaking at top when I stood on it - wouldn't want to test gear behind said flake.

Proper Northumberland start means the first move is the hardest. Has some long technical moves.
