On Saturday i put up a new highball arete, to the left of Micks Metaphor, in the woods at Hen Cloud. Starts as for MM but swings left onto the arete. Its described as a project in the new Staffs guide and it needed cleaning so I'm guessing it was still up for grabs. Its about 5m with a crux at the top.

Don't know of anyone who's done it. I remember there was a tree behind with a little stubby branch at waist level that looked like an erect cock, and that you could possibly land on it if you fell off the top.
-
You could land on the tree cock but i didnt think it would go down well if sawed it off, i chose to man up instead 8). I climbed it on its right so the chance is not as high as if you were to swing round to do a left hand finish. Pretty safe with a spotter.
