Really good slab moves reminiscent of Arapiles, quite small gear and a bit run out in places. Mossy at the top. 15 might be a slight sandbag. Would do again.

Very dirty and now annoyingly retro bolted for the lower slab section. Did a little scraping of footholds on lead, tackled the crux above the world's dodgiest looking tricam, scraped out the crux crack on descent (it takes a very sane #5 brass offset). Needs a good scrub. Still really good, classic if cleaner.

Climbs a bit easier after last month's clean, did a bit more on the way down, still a lot of lichen in bottom section. Will revisit, it's a great route.

A little more cleaning on lead. The crux crack is starting to stay more open, but the face is going to take a while, and the lichenous bottom will be last.

Cleaning session #3, 15 hours so far, still work to do. Lowered to the bottom and rope soloed on a grigri in walk off shoes to check the state of it. Still way too much lichen at the bottom, and need to clean further left at the crux. It's clean from well below the crux now and the log of death is gone (admire it at the bottom). Managed to just barely abseil off on the 40m cleaning rope. Shagged out, long walk back with heavy pack, enough.

Fixing a rope for cleaning. Bottom 15m still very dirty and sketchy after previous cleaning sessions rained crap down on it. Excellent belay by Rosie.

Up to anchor on rescuesender and roll'n'lock, for full top-down brush then cleaning the lower half on grigri. Cleaned for 5 hours.

Cleaned furiously for 7 hours. It's done, will need to settle and have a dust in autumn. Too hot and shagged to lead it today.

After 27 hours of cleaning, it's a whole different climb. Plenty of holds and good gear (take cams 0.3 to #2, a double set of nuts, plus RPs or small offsets to avoid runouts). I had 20 pieces in. Long, absorbing, and probably not for beginner trad leaders. Get on it.

Needs a bit of a garden again, probably once a year.

Sun broke out halfway which prompted quite a speedup. Staying clean enough, though you'll always have to dig out the thin crack a little around the crux.

May be rated as a beginners climb but it is not a beginners climb.

The gear is small and tricky so could feel runout. If you're lucky enough to be tall there are 'jugs' to cling to whilst placing pro. Otherwise it is a delicate, slighty harrowing affair.

Did not bring RPs but had offset micro nuts which seemed to do the job.

Always good. Still pretty clean, present me thanks past me.

I still bloody love this even after a visit to Arapiles. Still clean enough. Scrape the thin crack out a little for gear at the crux.

Clean second, good climb as always
