Hugely satisfying climb but not one to start with on a cold morning. The starting move can be made a little easier if you can get your right foot out wide (only good for tall people I think). |

Think there should be a 4c-5a warning for short people. |

Climbed it twice today. Once on lead and once as second. Start is unnerving. |

I know this is heresy but I always find this route hard (and not just the start). My grade would be VS 4b. There, I said it was heresy! |

We took two different climbing styles for start, straight at it with hand jams [Shane], and a layback option [Des]. Both ugly!
But sure if it was easy we woud be out fishing! [Oct 2010] |

This was my 3rd outdoor route, climbing as second. The start is a bit hard but the rest was really good. |

The stuck cam is no longer there, but it's gear on demand all the way. |
Kevin Kilroy - 11/05/2007
The start is a bit hairy but good solid climbing from then on, handy cam stuck in crack half way up too! |

Must confess I found this route v. worthwhile and got scared when had to complete in a freak rain storm. |

The most obvious route on arrival at the crag, and one of the best short hard severes around. |
