Agreed on the star and the tip on not entering the cave! Added a bit more blood to this last week. It's quite a tough move that. Great fun.

Dave Walsh will be glad to read your comments, he has fond memories of climbing on Owey. Let us know your opinions on star-quality, if applicable. As a guide I'd say * = good for the crag, ** good for the region/county; *** good nationally.

Climbed this on June 5th. A fantastic route, great rock, great gear and class positioning through the crux, easily with a star

Have to agree with Jock a really enjoyable route :) would recommend against climbing into the little cave before the crux, despite how tempting it is. Makes for an interesting time backing out of it :)
