James McNaught	3 Sep, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Loved this climb wonderful movement. TRS first. Dialled it in then soloed 3 times. It’s bold but moves are fairly easy. Def an E1, not sure it warrants E2.	βeta?

Dale Berry	4 Nov, 2006	Show βeta βeta: A fall before getting the gear in the break wouldn't be pretty, and the finnish is not as easy as some make out. Regardless of the grade though its certainly a worthwhile route.	βeta?

Oli	15 Feb, 2006	Show βeta βeta: I found the hardest bit standing up on the good holds, but i think i may have been a bit far left for that section as had to mantle, not rockover. The top bit is not very hard, but the gear is comforting...	βeta?

Si dH	21 Jan, 2006	Show βeta βeta: Im only 5ft11 but struggled a lot to reach the good hold, had to move a few feet right then just got it - this was definitely harder htan acually climbing up once Id got it. The top-out is no more tha n5a.	βeta?

Duz Walker	14 Sep, 2005	Show βeta βeta: 5 feet and 10 inches, HVS at most, one semi bold move to the break then laced with cams a plenty. Can have your tea before making the next move at max 5a. Having said all that, great route and it says E2 in the book so I'll take that!	βeta?

alan moore	30 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: A very scary stand up to reach a rubbish hold and an elbow shaking reach for the break. The rest is OK. (Five eleven and three quarters).	βeta?

Mattyk	21 Jul, 2003	Show βeta βeta: On jamiemoss's suggestion (above) i led this as my 1st E2 ( bare in mind i have only ever done 3 E1's) this climb is about HVS.. i'm 6ft tall but the break takes as many cams as you can carry and the top move is a boulder problem (peak 5b) (yorkshire 5a) Nice though.. and i still claim an E2	βeta?

Horse	21 Dec, 2002	Show βeta βeta: Following the discussion in the forums I had a go at this one, as an onsight solo. I can't believe this is less than E2 if you are of average (or less than) stature. Exciting solo even with the distant cushions!	βeta?

Chris the Tall	9 Nov, 2002	Show βeta βeta: Long reach may help you reach the hold below the break, but isn't the next move the crux? I don't know as this is where I fell off and will have to wait until the broken bone in my foot has healed ! Not be to underestimated	βeta?
