This is a great route usually away from the crowds. It can be a long two pitch climb if you add "Insult and Flatterly 12c" to it. Note the second pitch has some bolts that are bad and missing. First pitch is nice and feels committing as you approach the ledge where the anchors are. This climb is located in the fence area to the far right of "Winter Warmer" climb.
This route was put up by Dave Field and Martin Birch back in 1992 or so. It takes some extra small camming units. I always felt the crux was up higher in the flaring corner.
This route was not much harder than 10c. The boulder moves up to the first bolt are serious, but if you get moving and don't look back, you'll be there before you know it. The flared dihedral in the middle is definitely the crux. The book says pro to 2"?? Were bolts added to the route? I don't even see where you'd need 2". Small cams could help in the beginning.
