Good to finally put this one to rest after flailing on it a few years back. Headpoint style. Toproped twice first and found the gaston beta for the crux to go surprisingly smoothly, and worked out the best wires for the critical placement (black brass offset at the back of the slot, with a grey peanut at the front). They seem pretty good, but probably still best not to fall from the moves just after the crux.

Took a couple of goes to work out the sequence of locks at the bottom. Led to the top, lowered off, then led clean with the gear in. Great crack climbing. 23 might be a bit generous. It only gets 21 in the old guidebook. Would be harder placing the gear. Could do with a good clean to get all the dirt out of it.
