An okay route, straight forward until the overhang.

I agree pete. Shipquay street hvs 5b it is!

Rodders, a single hold that differed from the original used by the FA makes it a new route.

Your belaying and encouragement saved my bacon Pete. Mind you it was probably your idea for me to climb it in the first place!:) Hey do I get a new route for doing the direct finish!

A memorable lead. I was there. A star? Are you mad?

This was always a sandbag at HS. One of my 1st leads and nearly kicked the bucket on it for sure :). Worth a star maybe?
