Looks pretty new, ok, a boulder problem on a rope
	12	★ Marsala	Trad 8m	Average	Jason Brown	Sat 17th Jun 2006
haven't done a lot of trad recently, so this was a nice change.

Fun...just too short
	12	★ Marsala - with Daniel Bush	Trad 8m	★ Good	Bruno Alves Buzatto	Sun 7th Jul 2019
Seconded this to get my shoes that were left on top by James — long story not worth explaining here.... Fun little crack though!

easy way out
	12	★ Marsala - with Ben Anthonisz	Trad 8m		Eliezer	Wed 13th Dec 2023
Barefoot, feet got tired of smearing - when in doubt run it out
	28	★★★ Butter Knives	Sport 12m, 4		Diego DeDiana	Mon 9th Mar 2020
First tried in 96... the knives feel sharper...
	22 23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish (Gidget Verdon Variant)	Sport 16m, 5	★ Good	James Crowther	Mon 4th Oct 2004
Cool moves but you will have an abseil to get your gear back
	22 23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish (Gidget Verdon Variant)	Sport 16m, 5	★★ Very Good	Nick Clow	Sun 10th Aug 2008
bouldered the hard (and v good) start 2nd go
	22 23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish (Gidget Verdon Variant)	Sport 16m, 5	★ Good	JJ	Mon 10th May 2004
ULTRA hard start, then good moves.
	22 23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish (Gidget Verdon Variant)	Sport 16m, 5	★★ Very Good	Trent Lee	Mon 10th May 2004
hard start but great climbing
	22 23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish (Gidget Verdon Variant)	Sport 16m, 5	★★ Very Good	Daniel da Silva	Mon 4th Oct 2004
done from ground up, very solid with the start
	23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish - with Alec Brodie	Sport 16m, 5	★★ Very Good	Maximilian W M Keatinge	Sun 10th Sep 2017
Very tricky start, batmanned past that crux and onto some beautiful climbing through this variant.. top of the original looks a bit run out, but also with good holds!
	23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish - with Justin	Sport 16m, 5	★★ Very Good	Michael Moore	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Done in one, fuuuuuuuuuuck, will go with more gas for sure. Really awesome route.
	23	★★ Gidget Verdon Variant Finish - with Cat, Greg	Sport 16m, 5		Hamish	Mon 13th Jun 2022
Utter punishment
	22	★★ Gidget Verdon	Sport 15m, 3	★★ Very Good	Anthony Lin	Sat 15th May 2004
Varied & good after the first bolt
	22	★★ Gidget Verdon	Sport 15m, 3	★ Good	Chris Yeomans	Sun 27th Jun 2004
Brick hard start then funky moves. Stick clip a long sling to 3rd bolt to avoid ground fall and make life easier!
	22	★★ Gidget Verdon	Sport 15m, 3	★★ Very Good	rockmonkey83	Wed 4th Feb 2015
A difficult technical start. The climbing eases and is reminiscent of a harder version of Mental Fatigue.
	22	★★ Gidget Verdon	Sport 15m, 3		Mathew Hutchins-Read	Thu 14th Jul 2016
Bailed from the second bolt. Too thin for me...
	26	★★ Gidget Verdon	Sport 15m, 3		Grechy	Wed 30th Aug 2017
22 hahahahahaha!!! The first two draws are sharp and desperate!! Granted I jumped on this at night so may have been missing something but the sharp holds are miniscule with tiny feet and a very difficult sequence to gain an OK clipping hold at the second draw. Unless I'm missing something this is 22 going on 26
	26	★★ Sweet Cheeks - with Justin	Sport 11m, 3	★ Good	Michael Moore	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Horrendously sharp, maybe one day haha
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Leigh Wells	Mon 14th Jul 2008
Excellent moves but very thin and sharp. 3 goes and no skin.
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	Average	Vanessa Wills	Fri 3rd Jul 2009
i should like this but it hurts.
	25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Damien Haines	1996
Bring bandaids
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	Average	Tim Haasnoot	Sun 22nd Feb 2004
finger tip killer, prob wouldn't do again
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Daniel da Silva	Sun 24th Aug 2003
stuff and stir, flush it out
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	Average	Vanessa Wills	Mon 20th Jul 2009
still painful
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Adam Bramwell	Sun 7th May 2006
surprisingly nice moves - does this mean I have tough tips?
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★ Good	JJ	Mon 23rd Feb 2004
Too much skin, try this one
	25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3		James Crowther	Mon 7th Oct 2002
freakin hard as
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★★ Classic	Anthony Lin	Sun 30th Jun 2002
Awesome & solid if you go straight up
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★★ Classic	Tim Mayer	Sun 20th May 2007
The best climb on the black wall
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Clow	Sun 29th May 2011
genuine 3 star micro classic
	24 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Matt Miller	Sun 24th Jun 2012
Sharp and delicate. Would be easy with good footwork...
	24 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Adam Mujaj	Sun 22nd Jun 2014
Very thin and sharp holds. Haven't had to grunt this hard in a while. The sequence is nice!
	24 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	★ Good	Mathew Hutchins-Read	Thu 19th May 2016
Ugh, way too thin for me...
	24	★★ Bill Collins - with Rod de Paiva	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Dan Brown	Sun 4th Jun 2017
Sharp and reachy! Need really good foot work!
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins - with Andrew Stevenson	Sport 10m, 3		Demetrius	Sat 20th Jul 2019
Did not get far this time round, painful. One for next time....and maybe with some shade.
	24 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3		Eoin Coleman	Sat 16th May 2020
Accurate description. Had to call it a day just before the third bolt as sun was setting and fingers were looking bare. Couldn't have asked for much better conditions but hoping to return with stronger fingers and appropriate footwear.
	24 to 25 Hard	★★ Bill Collins — 2 attempts - with Dylan Hemson	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Joel Alston	Tue 2nd May 2023
Pieces together in two sections. The 25 grade comes with the severity of how sharp the crimps are. Honestly just sharp! Haha but fantastic sequence and demands trust in your feet and body positions.
	24 to 25 Hard	★★ Bill Collins - with Joel Alston	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good	Dylan Hemson	Tue 2nd May 2023
Wanted to try this for a long time. Thin sharp and desperate but felt achievable with some work. First to second bolt I need to work out a foot sequence to gain the right hand crimp above the little seam. First attempt worked out some nice beta through the mid/top section but fluffed it on the second attempt. Being tall helped in the top section but made me feel a little pretzeled through the bottom half. Fresh skin and cold conditions and nailing the beta and I’d like to think it could go
	20	JHTB	Sport 8m, 2	Average	Daniel da Silva	Sun 5th Jun 2005
hard start then cruise
	20	JHTB	Sport 8m, 2	Average	Donald Gibson	Sat 27th May 2006
Very hard start for grade 20, then easy after you get the large hold below the first bolt.
	20	JHTB	Sport 8m, 2	Average	Vanessa Wills	Sun 14th May 2017
The start is about 5 grades harder, not worth killing my fingers on
	20	JHTB	Sport 8m, 2	★ Good	Scrumpy	Mon 28th Aug 2017
Could pull onto tiny start holds move feet up and just get next tiny crimp but the jug still felt miles away!! Really hard start!!!
	20	JHTB - with Trent	Sport 8m, 2	Average	Emdehn	Thu 10th Nov 2022
Possibly the hardest 20 I have ever done. Crimpy as heck!
	20 ~23	JHTB - with alfie jones	Sport 8m, 2		linna	Mon 12th Jun 2023
from the halfway jug it seemed like a 20
	20 ~25	JHTB - with Rasto	Sport 8m, 2	Average	Donald Gibson	Sat 8th Jul 2023
Did the first couple of moves but couldn’t get to the jugs. Felt much harder than Dangerous Currents which is a sandbag at 22.
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★ Good	rod	Sun 28th Dec 2008
cant remember it being that sharp?
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	Don't Bother	Anthony Lin	Sun 4th Apr 2004

Got the sequence but not the fingertips. With Jim.
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	Average	Zorba Parer	Sun 30th Apr 2006
Crimpy...frigin...grumble, pain...short boulder crimp slut
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	D Parsons	Tue 23rd Nov 2004
one fall on crux ...dammit. Not a 19! 21 I reckon.

ouch on the fingers
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	Matthew Duggan	Sun 22nd Aug 2004
Tough crimps, ouch.

First lead climb
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2		Peter Davis	Sun 29th Oct 2006
Man I was having a bad day ...
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★★ Classic	Phil Ward	Mon 12th Jul 2010
Thin and committing to a high 2nd clip!
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2		Adrian Kladnig	Sat 28th Jul 2012
Two grades harder than when I first tried it years ago
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2		Matt Miller	Sun 19th Aug 2012
I'm not a slab climber, but the crux right below the second RB seems harder than a 20...
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	Mathew Hutchins-Read	Sun 4th Aug 2013
Definitely no harder than 20
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	Naaman Ra	Sun 4th Aug 2013
very crimpy, short climb
	20	★ Eccles - with Paul	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	Matt Short	Sat 7th Sep 2013
Very crimpy climbing.
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2		Andrew Stevenson	Sat 11th May 2013
thin
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★ Good	Adam Mujaj	Sun 22nd Jun 2014
Nice climbing, shame it is so short! Was the warm up.
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★ Good	Niall Doherty	Mon 21st Jul 2014
Two shots. Tough crux sequence. More like 22. Badly rebolted, second ring is far too high. The original carrots were better positioned!
	20	★ Eccles	Sport 12m, 2	★★ Very Good	Rod Smith	Mon 21st Jul 2014
About my 6th shot. Such a hard 20 IMHO. Fingers are still recovering...
