8m. The thin crack left of the corner has a desperate start - on the left is slightly easier. Above, even more desperate moves lead to reach the wider upper section. © ROCKFAX

Couldn't make the move to the flake, tried about 4 different ways, came closest (fingers over the edge but not holding it) from a kind of powerful slap off my left hand in the break
Bart Shaw - Sent dnf - 27/Nov/11 with Jon

Only 'just about dry' rock we found all day. despo. bouldered out start which took probably double figures of goes. nearly made the sequence up from the the flake to easier ground first go but not quite. Led it clean from the ground 1st redpoint ha ah. Seem to be falling off alot at the moment.....

First real E2 6a. Had loads of goes at the first couple of metres with Nick and both kept falling off in turn racked up. Decided to go home with hurting fingers. Packed gear then thought I'd have just one more go with shoes on only and got further. Got geared up all over again and then sent it. Jumping up and down like an elated nutter at the top!
