Highly recommended as one of the best kept secrets of the crag. Border line E3/4. Brilliant first 2 pitches and at the top of the 2nd pitch is the most perfect belay ledge you would ever dream to get.

This is a great line but it needed a good scubbing when myself and Howard did it in June. I gave it a quick clean when I added down the line, but it was still very green. I was glad that I brought the brush with me on lead. Howard didn't bother taking it off me at the belay but I think he wished he did when he was about half way up the second pitch. It may be borderline E3/E4 but it feels harder when it's green. Geoff, did you clean it before doing it ? The top pitch is good in it's own right, there is a huge belay ledge and it goes at about E2 5b. Make sure to bring a bit of big gear for the top pitch. We only had a few medium cams, so I had to go old school with slings around small chockstones.

Hey Kev, sorry those words were quoted from Paul McArthur from some time back. I haven't been on it.
