Me, again. Just noted I've said "crackline", line takes the crease not the crackline; hence 'Crease'.

Above comment was just copying the minimalist style of the above. It should be noted that the 2007 photo-topo line is out for this climb, 'Crease' is the diagonal crackline approx 2M left of line shown and 'Shark Bait' is just left again. Apologies, we'll get it right next time.

Brian Wingham and Donna Ryan have both 2nd' this climb and found the start to be at least 5a and the climbing above about 5a. Leaders comments welcome to establish the grade.

Another great line by Pete Cooper, very pinchy with quite a hard start.
