Seconded this barefoot, lovely juggy moves and good rest ledges, A bit of a worrying move of the last ledge!

This is one of the finest severes in the peak, no question

A fine route - seconded it, then led it. And you can do it in 2 pitches if you want (as per the couple who went up after I'd led it - there is a reachy move (if you are under 5ft 6in) moving off the massive ledge at just below half height. My second (5ft 4in) wasn't happy with that bit.

I loved it though. My 5th Severe lead - and I know it wasn't onsight - but hoping to get a good foundation, and I'd say this is a good beginner's Severe lead...

First ever lead and what a great climb. Lots of gear available if you need it, much fun as you like.

This was my last climb of the day and what a good climb it was and plenty of gear if you need it.

Nice. Lots of hidden side pulls to.. er.. pull on.

Absolutely fantastic route. The crux is a bit harder, less secure and requires more thought if you are short.

Solid at the grade.

Judging from the chalk and scratches, most people start up Bamford Buttress on this - just as good really. Worth mentioning the ledge at the top of the initial flake since leaving this is the crux for most.
