Found this very hard for VS. Gear is there (just), but took so long trying to find and place it I got v tired then paniced, grabbed a runner, and had to be lowered off! Had a rest, and then managed it in 1 go.

Protection very poor on the bottom half. Got in half a DMM nut. None of the resting spots were very restful either - so pleased with myself but not in a hurry to do again :-)

Was going to back off until I spotted the good cam under the small roof to the right. Then took ages to get a nut in became pumped and fell off. Nice route but tough VS.

SKippy5 - 2nd - 11/May/08 with Ed Northridge

After debating the saftey of this route for some time. The only gear seamed to be and RP4 quite some distance from the next good placement. While getting to a stance to place the second piece I slipped and fell. The RP held and I got back on and finished up.
