Climbs

Rumoured to have been climbed by placing an old penny in a pocket to use as a foothold. The lip of the pocket then broke leaving a foothold which is now used. [1]

A sit start was originally claimed by John Gaskins at 8A but this ascent is now widely disputed. The stand remains a quality problem in it's own right.

Quote from 1983 guide:

A certain amount of confusion surrounds the latter, [this climb] which had been recorded in the two previous guide books as Hard Very Severe but has repulsed all recent attempts to lead it. I had been assumed that Geoff Sutton had led this route, but on checking it has been discovered that in fact the route had only been top-roped some time in the early to middle fifties with no record of the climber(s) involved. This is not to belittle the achievement as the route is now considered to be the hardest on Dartmoor at E3, 6a and has still to be led.
