Seconded Mitch Clean. A proper classic pitch in its own right. The steepness is outrageous at the grade!

With a bit more love, a bit more cleaning, and by starting up the layback flake to the right, this pitch on its own deserves a full 3 stars.

Second clean. Some classic moments, but a lot of choss, wet rock, and moss. Once you get to the roof, everything up is great fun.

Hardly inspiring to look at (in fact, rather ugly) but the desperate bottomless chimney armbar-thrutching-madness was a unique experience to me.

I climbed it with gear in (from my failed onsight attempt) and the first gear up to the crux pre-clipped from lowering off previously.

Trad 70m Very Good

I always thought Pitch 1 looked mega, and it totally is.

Climbing Pitch 1 via the layback flake to the start, then traversing off (past old carrots) onto The Mind Boggles to rap would be a totally worthwhile undertaking for any trad enthusiast.
