βeta:Mega classic. THE 7c on UK limestone. Bouldery start, good rest and then pumpy all the way to the belay. One of the best sport climbs in the country. Period.

Ach. Early season and still getting to a similar place as I did on the day I tried it last year. Maybe a little lower. Feel a little more solid on the start but the middle is still mega pumpy. Will get me fit doing this!

Flash attempt on Saturday ended at the start of the run out, brutally pumped. Would definitely have fallen off higher up! The best sport route in Britain; total quality.

Sketched my way through the start a couple of times then slipped off just starting the run-out both times! Had a few other goes where I struggled to do the start. Would be keen to get back for this soon!

Done in 2 halves twice. Bit of power endurance holding me back, but mostly I am so slow finding footholds at Malham. Hopefully I will get quicker. Finding the start relatively easy.

Awesome. Struggled with the start for a while then on Thursday I did it easily and got halfway up just to have my foot pop off on the same hold as it popped off on mescalito on first rp. Just needed good conditions

What a journey. Dropped it above the crux on session one thinking it was in the bag ... another five sessions under my belt and it finally went. What an absolutely STUNNING route.

Last minute change of beta and new shoes made it feel pretty steady in the end. Always have to wait until I'm getting bored of a route before I send it. Despite that, it is a great route. Now, what about that 8a finish...

Wow. Hard. Didn't even do the start tried but find it incredibly burly. Did all the moves afterwards I think though it's still tough. But amazing climbing definitely one I'd like to do!

11th tie in, 6th RP, 3rd session. Absolutely psyched to do this, I think I'm finally getting some route fitness, although still had to fight at the top.

One RP attempt after a quick look at the moves bolt to bolt. Messed up the bottom bit so tried to do second bolt to the top - came unstuck on the big flatty and took the ride! Then seemed terminal fatigue had kicked in and had to go bolt to bolt at the top again. Didn't feel that hard but I need to be fitter next time!

What an awesome route and I think the best I have ever done to date! I am afraid that I pulled off the big right hand undercut near the end of pumpy sequence just before the big flat sloper (Took a mega lob whilst doing this!).. still goes though and not much harder, just even more classic as no more loose holds!
