βeta: Yes, very good route, 100% flowstone - approach is hardly like the one to Cloggy is it? | βeta? | |

βeta: Fantastic route, glad i read the comments here first! I was also feeling defeated at the crux but had faith and got the flash! VERY worthwhile if you like flowstone that isn't polished (yet). | βeta? | |

βeta: I'd say it's probably more straightforward approaching this from Blacknor South. It may still be worth wearing trousers as there are plenty of nettles and brambles about. Great climb on good quality flowstone. | βeta? | |

βeta: One of the best bits of flowstone on Portland, only its inaccessibility prevents it from having queues on it. The hardest bits are leaving the belay ledge and pinching up the tufa pipe at the top; have faith, there are jugs above! | βeta? | |
