tricky start but once worked out, its an awesome climb

Great route, take some long slings for this one. Sort of forgot that bit lol

Couldn't get past the thin shallow crack at the start, fun working those moves though.

Harder at the start than the apparent crux.

Hard seam initially, very thin. I used double ropes and did it in one pitch; almost dropped off through pump getting to arete! Would have been an exciting swing...

Only the second pitch. Really cool climbing, exciting over the overhang and then pure fun up the arete. I would prefer daylight the next time, though

desperate first 6 metres

Pitch 1 only- thin and crimpy-just needed to get my feet right. good lead timbo!

hard start then great

a very nice two pitch route.

took me 4 goes just to get the first pitch! that thin seam is very tricky. rested on the second (gr.20) pitch, so will have to go back to finish that one off. 2 totally different styles the 2 pitches.

Thin seem on first pitch is a wee bit desperate. Seccond pitch is FANTASTIC. Great face moves then onto wonderfull arete. Definitly worth doing.

Feels harder than 21 down low. Arete climbing is fantastic.

really nice but stressful up the arete

Seconded by Col Reece.

felt hard
