A classic polished Peak landmark which is still a tough route to onsight. There are a few ways of doing the lower crux and the upper wall is not to be underestimated either, with a tricky move or two moving right near the top.
FA. Ron Fawcett 1981. This ascent signified the change of Raven Tor from an aid climbing crag to a free climbing crag. FA. Jeff Morgan, Bob Toogood 1969. It was extremely loose when first pegged.

You can't give a route that polished three stars. Hard to onsight but not too bad to flash!

Plenty of 7b's in France that are much harder. Not that hard to onsight as it has good shakeouts.

Much easier than Tin Of - grades should be swapped in my opinion.

Totally ruined by polish!
Much of which is caused by people who have on intention of leading it working it to death on toprope!!!
