Hardcore Pat - Lead O/S - 19/Mar/11 with Graham Plant

Kev actually led Wrinkled Wall but I came up this instead so I could save the lead on Wrinkled Wall for another day. Was absolutely freezing and getting dark. Have never been so cold on a crag. Was interesting pulling up on slopers not being able to tell if I was holding onto the rock or not. Felt like I was going to fall off during every move. Might of been just the conditions but the route felt slightly harder then The Crease, although of course better protected.

The Bad Cough - 2nd O/S - 24/Jul/10 with John Sealey

Very good. Balancey. Would have been scared to lead to go above gear but moves ok.
andrea83 - 2nd O/S - 01/Jul/10 with Peak CC

Very nice climb although not much harder than The Crease which is graded at E1!?
wazir.safeer - 2nd O/S - 13/Jun/10 with Alkis

Accidentally went further left, climbing the wall between Old and Wrinkled and Wrinkled Wall. Got to the top but I can't count it as an ascent of Old and Wrinkled.

Si01 - Lead - 29/Aug/07 with Roger

Not good enough to attempt the lead on this yet. Great route, but would have struggled to place gear safely whilst clinging precariously to the slopers. Will hopefully return to this at some point.
