	Climber	Style	Ascent Date	Suggested Grade
	Arnis Strapcans	Lead \| did not finish	1970s
	Pat Littlejohn	Lead	25th Apr 1972
	First ascent. 5 points of aid.
	While this action departs from the purest traditions of a first ascent, in this case I believe it to have been in the best interests of the climb. No one could be gladder than I to emerge from the dark'n bad lower walls to a finish touched by the last rays of the sun. [1] References [1] Hope, D., Wilkinson, B. (2000). North Devon and Cornwall.
