	Ricky Bell	Lead \| worked	14th Jun 2015
	First ascent.
	No pads, no messing about, just get your head in the right place and commit. It's a bit of an ego killer this thing. Never desperate but never secure. Twelve tricky foot moves. On two of these moves you have to sustain momentum or you're off. You can't just pull onto the footholds - you gotta float onto them.
