i tried this AGES ago and thought it was quite hard for the grade, that was when i was fresh, and the climb became something i walked past every day i was at the glen for almost a year and thought ' yeh i'll do that one day'. after a 2 week climbing trip, at the end of a full day of hard labouring on tony's poperty, and with a belly full of beer, i cruised it first shot this time and thought it was soft! go figure?!

last serious climb of the day. classic, pumpy and full of surprises! on the onsight shot i got in line with the last bolt and went to grab a draw off my harness but spooged out of the monodish thing. would be a 20/21 if you were very tall and could reach the jugs to the left (or even dyno!), but for us mere mortals its quite a 'bag!
