Mega classic.
Really pleased with how much I've improved since my last go 6 months back. Found and milked the rests along the way, including a knee bar. Pump management was much better and I had more confidence to go for the moves for some reason. Still reckon its pretty hard for the grade; The Kraken is materially easier. Gear for me: used most of a double rack with 3 reds, 1 #4. Couple of nuts. |

Killer route, still took two shots and harder than expected. Totally classic.
Next time i'll bring a larger rack, not clip any of the bolts (why are they there) and wear crack gloves (the most critical jams have some painful crystals) |

Came with big gear to do Cider P2 but decided against it due to veg and appearance from below. #4 cam useful but not mandatory, as smaller stuff OK to belay from the right corner wall. A early ascent with Peter Martland, more '78 than '18. | 36m | Average | ||||
