Yep, I'd say more than 4a. It has really good moves but they're no push over. It's a good route. |

A 4b move to get off the ground if you are vertically challenged but beside good gear. The rest nice with interest but jugs at the top. Agree with s 4a if of average height |

Start just to the right, almost in the corner. Really nice moves - obviously I'm a fan of this little line. |

Just getting old I expect. |

Maybe I started this too directly but it definitely felt harder than Severe. Very off balance in the middle and a little pumpy. My second got shouted at as I tried to clip and I'm not normally that panicked on a Severe! |

It is a really nice route, good moves low down and then a fairly airy top out. Can't comment myself as I only ever used to solo it and not been on it in a few years now. Did listen to comments at Climbfest. More comments please? |

I'm no grading expert, but I'd call this harder than a Severe. I'm fine with Orange Blossom (HS), but I've found this route to be a struggle on each occasion I've had a go at it... |

there's also a direct finish over the top at approx 5b, did this while following Pete Smith's lead summer 03 |

After 3yrs of visiting crag finally did this one, its a lovely line definitely worth its star, RECOMMENDED. |
