βeta: The 5b pitches were hard, definitely high in the grade! I led pitches 2,3 and 5. Had a hard time trusting my feet, some very polished footholds kicking around. 3d climbing at times, mega route!

βeta: Large wobbly block size of mini fridge next to the pegs at belay 3 (post traverse). Care is needed when handled should not be used for gear placement. Alternative nut placement can be found above.

βeta: Felt extremely green, especially the bottom pitch. We had to clear a path through the nettles to reach the base so I guess we were the first party up it since the ban ended - maybe it'll clean up with some more traffic!

βeta: A much anticipated Boxing Day excursion. Nice weather, only cold when seconding, leading was fine. I led 1,4. P Welford led 2,3,5. Everything was going swimmingly until P Welford took a head down ~20m screamer just as he topped out into the sunshine (ripping gear and landing halfway down pitch 4). First pitch a bit long and muddy/polished. Shield was enjoyable. Final pitch was horrid and chossy hence massive whipper. In hindsight we probably went the wrong way up the crack rather than diagonally right. A Boxing Day Bruiser.
