Some great flowstone/limestone climbing! Nice long climb, doesn't end quickly and very pumpy. High exposure at the start, about 3 metres in between the first and second bolt but very well protected at the top. Used a small cam in between first and second bolt for reassurance during exposed grassy section. After that there's a lovely flake for a nice lean back up to the third bolt. Hardest section is without a doubt the second to last two clips with a slight overhang. One finger hold is better than expected if you find it. Surprisingly agile climbing where you start to understand how important it is to lean in and trust your feet. Just be aware of a lot of loose rock at the top, best to stand well out of the way if your belaying.
