Not to hard or pumpy, but I found it quite scary. Stiched the poor climb to pieces with about 12 bits of gear. Definately worth a shot if you want to try one of the Blueys few good finger cracks.

9th August 2011. 2nd shot on lead (and one clean top-rope attempt at night). One of my all-time greatest trad leads. Such variety, unrelenting length, and no particularly crux moves. Bomb-proof gear and heady climbing. A year later I still remember how this felt to lead.

Would that I had the gear with me to lead it, but a crack this prominent couldn't be passed up, so a top-rope it is. The hardest moves are before the crack really starts, but the climbing is fun, so who cares! The overhanging 18 crack on the other side of Tombstone is better though! - No chalk and someone elses climbing boots.
