Lead all pitches clean, flash or onsight all apart from lowering off pitch 7 after accidentally starting to link into it from 6. We climbed the first two pitches the day before and bailed due to lots of other parties on the route. Really enjoyed the steep crack pitches!

FWIW this route can just be descended on a single 60m rope. We climbed on two 60s but didn't need them for the raps. Accidentally rapped down the first set of anchors from the half way ledge, which made for three 30m raps and a little dirty scramble.

Epic time, found the route thanks to notes from a friend and Eric's excellent navigation. Didn't climb fast enough to do the whole route, Pitch 2 was my favourite, varying from "this is the greatest climb of my life" as I went under the roof and round the corner, to 5 metres later "this is the worst route of my life" as I dropped Eric's carabiner while trying to navigate round the crack tree. Super hang dog on Pitch 4 for bolt / unrelenting section. Lots of debate about which way to go in Pitch 2 and 3 . Beautiful text book crack on start of Pitch 4.

Lives up to hype! Amazed at how lines like these are discovered and equipped. Really well protected and varied throughout! Unfortunately I lost the onsight on the last 2 metres of the whole climb, rushed the final moves with a pump and took the whip. Would climb again though for sure! Swung leads with Tomas. We found the crux to be setting up rappels whilst being swarmed by what felt like the entire sandfly population of Dart Valley.

Unfortunately a lot of vegetation which detracted from the climb. If you go I would recommend taking a wire brush and making a day of it to clean it up. I was not aware of its current state otherwise would have done so myself. Not sure I will get the chance again before I go home. Would be a nice climb if cleaned properly. The second pitch is one of the scariest leads I have ever done. Thin and tricky gear the whole way. Had to sit a couple of times. Third pitch was the best in my opinion with great climbing and good gear, though a small amount of vegetation in the crack detracted from the quality.
