smudge	10 Jul, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Top of the crag is f@*d. I’d heard about it happening a number of years ago, but now you have to top out over a tonne of loose earth (or mud after the rain). Shame because the route is good. I’ll help cleaning the crag but it needs to be done thoughtfully.	βeta?

Craig Samuels	17 Apr, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Early season a lot of dirt on some of the holds. Needs more traffic to tidy the route up. Top also very loose soil and vegetation. Red ants still present!	βeta?

Rob M	19 Sep, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Be gentile with the bat's, they keep the midges down! ;) seriously though they're always there, in the horizontal usually. I keep off this route now (done it twice). So many other routes at this cliff are neglected & they're of no less quality than this one.	βeta?

Rob Davies	12 Sep, 2020	Show βeta βeta: There are bolt anchors above the muddy ledge. Assuming they don't get chopped, it's best to use these a belay then abseil, as using a lower-off drags the ropes through loads of mud.	βeta?

Alan James - Rockfax	21 May, 2019	Show βeta βeta: Excellent. The Tree root in the belay is dead although it still feels solid enough but won’t be for much longer. Options at descent without it are not pleasant. Hack up the loose rocky grass to a big tree is maybe the best option.	βeta?

Fidget	14 Sep, 2007	Show βeta βeta: Bats still seemed to be there this week too! I enjoyed this although got pumped which I didn't expect. The top out was the scariest bit as the grass was so dry! Didn't find there to be much (any) polish at all after the first couple of moves, I even smeared quite happily (two things I normally avoid - polish and smearing).	βeta?

Skyfall	4 Jun, 2007	Show βeta βeta: Thought this was a really nice route and towards upper end of VS, though mostly due to the polish. And judging by the smell and squeaking coming from the crack higher up, the bats are still in situ.	βeta?

Chris the Tall	2 Aug, 2004	Show βeta βeta: The bats are deep in the upper crack and can easily be avoided. Plus they don't bite, unlike the ants at the top.	βeta?
