Went past it while walking around today and was surprised that it's seemingly not been done yet? Anyone got any ideas? I've looked in the YMC book, and UKC, and no references to it  :shrug:

It's obviously not a king line but it looks easily decent enough to have had someone look at it. The holds look to be all good, very incut crimps - a grit rarity! I'd imagine it climbs well, just board style climbing on good holds.

From below I'd have guessed it was maybe low f6s, fairly high, and with a sloping landing so the top would be quite committing (and also looked like it could be crux). So maybe E2 without pads. Pure conjecture of course! Certainly easy enough that somebody could absolutely walk up it if they found it dry (was damp today, when majority of the crag was not, so might need to wait til a warmer dry spell).

I don't see myself getting round to it myself so if you're up there, give it a go :)
