Wonderful sculptured sandstone. Superb climb.

Jeff Lamb's masterpiece.... That move, with your left foot splatted onto a non existent smear was 'state of the art' in EBs. Much much harder than now.
If you've never done it that way you'll never believe how much more difficult it was. If the foot wasn't just, just so, or, you weren't strong enough on the undercling it would cut away without warning, pitching you face in towards the wall.
A great route

It's OK Steve, we believe you! Looks nails. County 6a? Hmm... Sauntered past once and, oddly enough, seemed to find good reasons to keep on sauntering.
Fantastic looking route though and, as you say, a testament to Jeff Lamb, who was rumoured to be strong as... RIP.
