I think the most fun part of it was the bit when I used the crack to the left

Tricky move stepping around off the pillar and gaining access back into the crack.

After destroying the toilet with what remained in me of the office party, this was all I could bring myself to lead out of fear that I might actually shit myself if I fell off anything harder!

One thought provoking move off the pilar and into the crack and the rest was pretty mellow.

It's just 1 move? I led with the wrong hand into the final jam and popped off. And I got confused by the description and took the low traverse out to the anchor.

Climb the left as an offwidth for full value.

Cool climb, spooky step round off the pillar on less than primo hands.

Awkward to climb using the pillar. Going direct is definitely preferable.

Really nice. Went for the lead but kept falling just after getting on from the pillar; that offset crack needs laybacking maybe..? Went seconding anyways.

20 in the current Frog guide. Harder than 18, but soft at 20. Started up the direct start, after 4-5m i wasnt feeling it so i stemmed to the top of the pillar to place a piece of gear, then continued up. Okay climbing, but not great. Tricky move off the top of the pillar to get back into rhe crack.

Hmmm, bridge or actually climb the pillar. I did a bit of both. Nice and difficult getting back into the crack, I gave it about three goes. First one I realised my gear was where my jams were, therefore had to move it down. Second, got the jams, but feet missed there mark, I pumped and made a desperate back climb. I would've fell if my jam didn't slip onto a mysterious hand hold (my high nut placement). Very thin hand jams, I couldn't get the butterfly jams working. The direct start is the only way to do this if you can. Otherwise wait until you're better.

Spooky trying to get off the pillar into the crack. 27.6.04: (2nd) A rewarding climb with a scary bit in the middle. Awesome hand jams :-D
