Felt high and I didnt find any gear :( Climbing isnt too difficult though....
Lunar25 - Lead O/S - 19/May/13 with Phil Marsh
Top roped easily clean a few times. Much easier than expected so went for the solo which was more gripping but OK. Better to do it this way than to never doing it at all or should I have "manned up" for the on-sight solo.

Done in the dark, a great climb on a top rope and all the moves go OK but absolutely no gear.
Andrew Lodge - TR O/S - 15/Apr/13 with Bob, Steve
really easy and steady to the very last move. couldn't see the move at all! downclimbed from two foot from the top back to the ground. surely that is harder than finishing it?! oops. no mats, friends, harness.

Fantastic route,but didnt really get any gear that would have caught a whipper so just had to hold my head and climb it!first ever E4 on lead and never managed an E3 so quite a jump from 2 to 4!

Some near-disastrous route reading error near the top (swung round onto the steep face) but otherwise very straightforward.

Being a VS climber I wasn't going to evr look at an O/S lead on this, but it looks so do-able. In all honesty all the foot smears and placements are there and the moves didn't feel hard, but on a Top Rope you're less twitchy and nervous aren't you?

Going well considering not climbed for 2 months and knee still not 100% climbing is easier than the walks down.
