Andy Long has replaced the old bolts with staples

The big jug has now decided to be on the floor! A bit harder, but doesn't effect the grade, just makes it worth the 7b.

Out of interest where was this jug???

This was the jug about half way up which made the initial undercut moves easy to get into and then you would have stood on it for an easy clip...

Actually, I'm glad it's not there anymore. I thought the moves as they are now were really good.

very good route! equally as good as the one on the right! movea are brilliant and im not afraid to say scarey as well! the bolt below the scarey mantelshelf crux definitely feels along way below you, as your pumped and holding on to this big moist pinch thats almost to big to holf gurning to get your foot on! very enjoyable and highly recommended! i had to man up for sure haha

Agree that this route is brilliant and under-rated. England's Dreaming has the looks but the moves on Spanner Eyes are almost as good. No particularly hard moves (for 7b) but there are some spicy moments just when you are getting a bit pumped.

Brilliant route, one of my favorites. Certainly gets the heart beating on the mantel move, safe fall but plenty of air time.

some beta please?!
tried this saturday - but where's the mantel? is it the grey band - or has that fallen off too?!
crux for me was between the undercuts and the next grey band (mantel onto the grey band was fine i thought!). do you use the far left hand layback and rock over onto the lower grey band, or stick with the direct line and go for the thin pocket above the opposing side pulls?
