What a great find. Climbed all the routes in May. ‘One Move’ was HVS when we climbed it. It’s two or three moves if you’re short! But VS is about right. Fringe Benefits is a cracker, well worth the 2 stars. We’d give Rowan Slab a star as well as it’s pretty funky and not that slabby. We wacked the bracken back at the time, no doubt it’s a dense, ticky jungle in there now. Nevertheless, a great winter into spring venue.
Agreed good route – all the routes here are good – pity they are not longer !
