Above and Beyond

[Geoff]

Got its second ascent after 12 years by Eddie Cooper and Paul McArthur in April 1996. Eddie found it was not as desperate as expected with the gear, though small, seeming quite adequate for the grade. Both agreed that there were certainly harder routes now on the cliff than this, with Eddie finally admitting that some of his own routes may be undergraded in comparison. Ricky Bell and Ronan Browner did the third ascent on 24/06/06, after another 10 year gap. This is undoubtedly the classic E6 of the crag, a must for climbers who operate at the grade and hopefully Ricky's ascent proved a precurser to its launch into a must do route. Ricky described it as: "the best E6 pitch I have ever done."

It's since has had a flurry of ascents.
