a second gear placement can be made at the foot of a small niche 1M below the top |

Neil Machon whilst on holiday 27/08/03 got in the 2nd Ascent of this 2yr old climb. Though not losing his bottle, he did lose his nuts!; a carabiner full went into the sea (retrieved later). Neil confirms the grade at VS 4c, finding the start a little daunting; a high spring tide adding to the fear factor. |

He's a 'family man', Pete also managed to have a good handhold rip-out; this has been known to add atmosphere to a climb. An alt. option is solo it at high water! |

Nice route, step up at start aided by improving handholds. Nice finish out on arete, grade spot on. |

Brave lead for a VS climber. One protection placement about halfway up will not prevent a nasty fall onto the ledge from the top. |
