| Route Description: |
| Start: This route, the classic `VS' of the crag follows the two rightward trending ramps on the smooth wall to the right of Lord of the Flies. Climb a thin groove onto a ledge at 5m. Move left and up a short smooth wall (crux) to gain the upper ramp. Follow the ramp up and right finishing by moving slightly left on steep rock.

Yep think it's a hard 4c, or 5a doing the crux move, but just that one hard move, but what a class wee climb. |

Was canvasing opinions on this and most folks were saying this is either very hard 4c or 5a. I'm in the 5a camp myself, after an ascent during the climbfest 09. It's a thin move above gear to get in position to start the harder crux move. Having watched Iain go up and down the crux area several times(like I did) I think he'll agree (?). I did like the post-crux banter between Iain and Chris, accompanied by a variety of finger gestures; some quaint Scottish tradition possibly. Didn't notice any 'meters' on the the route though: "pedants rool". |

Very good route, this is the perfect example of VS climbing. Great move on the blank wall low down, especially if you're vertically challanged! |

Superb route. Full value for the grade and a bit necky in places |
