	4a HS 4b	★★ ...One for All	Trad 33m	Shorn cliff	★★★ Classic	Michelle Anderson	Sat 22nd Jul 2006
Bold start over bulge, trouble placing gear then lobbed off. Rest of climb really smooth places to rest and place gear. Delacy required but with good hand holds!

A fantastic HS lead (Michelle's 2nd ever!). Difficult bulge at start

Follow the obvious crack in the corner.
