hi josh

i actually did this climb yesterday and it was great, but like jon said when you get to the top of the buttress and have the next section before you top out its pretty interesting! Terry says that it is possible to get in micro nuts for protection on this last section but i couldnt get anything in as i dont own any, so i would definately agree with the severe grading without a doubt, dont let the start fool you! Still a great cimb though!

Hello everyone,

Just received an update for this climb on ukclimbing, and noticed that
the author of the update thinks that it is a severe rather than a
VDiff. I haven't done it so I thought I'd ask everyone here what
their thoughts are?

The update is as follows:

"Following the edge of the buttress on the far side of coastguard
wall, up onto the butress then up the last section which is
unprotectable. Best broken into three pitches to minimise drag. This
is Severe due to the crux and unprotectable section."
