Brilliant fun just messed up footwork in the niche (crux?) and not strong enough (yet!) to hold on to sort it out without a rest. Stick no. 1 camalot in crack and go straight for the top of the flake thing. No. 3 above your head. Step left foot out and smear, move right up to hold on face and pull round onto ledge. Phew.

Did as first route, very cold day, nasty wind. Bad idea. One rest just before the ledge on the left. Straightforward once I stopped for a second to think...

Found this alright, just bouldered up the first moves, laybacking, with one hex placed from the floor. Up to a big jug in the left all and place some in the flake, then awkward layback moves lead up to the ledge and wider crack. Fist jam your way up this, layback is a little scary.

My first HVS lead. A great route with plenty of pro if you're strong enough to place it! Fell off once, but certainly didn't dog it. Plenty of puffing and panting by the end of it though.
