It can’t get any better for 12m of climbing surely! I somehow managed to do all the moves except for one at the top because i was fairly spent (but i’m fairly sure it won’t be that bad with a little energy). It probably contains the top 10 hardest moves I’ve ever done and all of them are funky and brilliant. Maybe one day in the distant future
I could actually climb this climb?!

Didn't have a guidebook at the time but it looked like it had holds so gave it a go. Probably a bit hard for a warm up but second shot put a lot of it together. Still has that covered in toothpaste feel and a lot of dirt covering it but the moves were quite good, except for the parts that didn't really have holds.....
