Excellent little Route, Easy HS.. Deffinately a star or two |

Brilliant moves for the grade. Worthy of at least a star if not two. The rock is as clean and solid as it comes. HS is dead on. |

For extra extra fun. Start on the boulder below the crag, step across gap, traverse right then around nose and up. Never done it roped, so don't know what rope-work would be like. Don't think I'll be able to solo this height again though. |

For extra fun, start at the base of the arete and go straight up to the slab. Bonus moves! |

I'll second it for a star. A warning must accompany the star though. It's a tough route for a short person. |

I love the moves on this route and have seen plenty folks struggle with it. Why no stars, may I suggest 1? |

After having spent the last 7months climbing in England/Wales...I'd say their grades over here are overgraded compared to back home (DL). Orange Blossom might even get VS and ANorexia on the left would get HVS or E1. Either that, or I need more practice on home rock! :P |

Used to be severe. See what you think! |
