Lovely route for its grade mostly with good protection.

Great climb. With some very interesting moves near the top.

Very good climb. Excluding the first pitch the quality is very sustained.

nice easy slab. Midged to death at the top whalst belaying.

Got it done on quite a wet day. Didnt have to que with the tourists that way. Great route.

Took a good 3m fall onto the slab and a 5m roll down it on the first attempt as I was too far to the right. After a little body repair I got back on and finished the route properly. Felt a little easy for an E1.

Very comfy and safe feeling route. Plenty of big ledges for rests. Crux is probably the start of the second pitch above the holly bush.

Nice lead. Plentiful and solid gear placements. May have done the traverse under the overhang a little high.

Polished. Especially on the wall above the chockstone visible from the floor. Protection is also quite poor here. After a bit of scrambling about inbetween pitches the second pitch was a nice climb with some interesting moves and better protected.

Mostly a VD with 2 short sections that give it the grade. These can probably be soloed up to and then climbed.

First E1 for me. Nice route. May have wandered astray on the second pitch. The guidebook entry was poorly described.

Lots of zigzags in the route. We did it in 3 pitches but can probably be done in 2. Poor communication due to rocks shape on sections.

Nice alternative. Straight up from the obvious belay. Better protection I felt, might have to hang around to place it a bit.

Done both with and without the direct finish. Direct is more upper body strength and less technical. Possibly why I perfered it? Great climb. Certainly worth doing. Protection is solid and easily avalible. Last time I climbed this I was belaying at the top in the hail.

Led this in the pouring rain. Wet rock made it much more of a challenge than the grade would suggest. Im sure its much nicer climb in the sun.

Nice typical gritstone style climb. Good lead for beginners.

Hairy lead over the overhang part for a relative novice at the time. May have involved some colourful language.

Stanage guidebook rates as a S. Slightly streching bridge up the crack and over the capping block. Have also climbed it under the block but that is much easyer and only worthy of a VD.
