Nice, but feels harder than 5.10b. Very hard slab move at the bottom. Before first bolt you need to be brave. Built first traditional anchor at the top

I got the bottom slab after about 4 attempts then stuffed up on the roof and got a cam stuck. Such is life.

5.3 Beginner's One Trad 55m Good
David Gibbs
Easy slab climbing, then a fun hand-crack. It would be better if there wasn't so much walking up slab to get to the meat of the climb.

Watch out, though, for the walk-off, come prepared to set up (and leave behind) a rap-station if you don't like very exposed hard 4th class to easy 5th class down-climbs.

 
5.5 Beginner's Two Trad 64m Average
David Gibbs
Mostly not too difficult, though off-width grunty, but with a couple crux sections that played at a lot harder than 5.3.

Also, be prepared the "walk off" is scarier than leading this climb.

A bit of a sandbag. The name is misleading - I chose this for my friend's first ever rock climb having never climbed it myself: a good initiation to old-school "easy" JT routes! We descended in semi-darkness via the chimney near Bussonier.
