I really enjoyed this. Pretty tenuous in places. May be a safe lead these days with lots of micro cams, though I think you'd be on RPs at the start.

Rapped down and looked at the gear first. IIRC there's nothing to the crux and not much after it but I got about 4 bits on the crux that I thought would hold a slump.

I only just got up this! I did it by chimneying which was exhausting, maybe there is a better way. (Wendy did it much better) There really is no gear till half height, and some poor rock, and it's filthy... get on it.

I thought this was good but a little disappointing as if you're tall (and remotely flexible) you can bridge to LLL.

This is really quite good. Just toproped it, I think the gear would be quite tough to place on lead. Nice rock.

One of those that would be much harder placing the gear. Very tenuous with no actual footholds. Flashed by Lou on TR - impressive!

Wow! Super technical. You can have handholds or footholds but not both. Would be a very demanding lead. I think gear was OK but placing it very hard.

Chad broke his ankles going for it on this one. Don't go for it unless you know your gear is good.
