Before
None
After
A historic gritstone king line, which was solved well ahead of its time by [Jonny Woodward](/climber/536/jonny-woodward) in 1982, in non-sticky boots. The route relies on a crucial pebble to leave the half height break and enter the seam above. In the early 2000s half the pebble shattered and fell off, making the crux harder but still possible.
