Ran as 1 pitch, fun climbing, esp if you didn't think too much about the jugs in the top third

If it had a few more bolts in it and you just went for the obvious grade 20 way of doing the route, this would be pretty good. Need serious blinkers to go up the arete after the bolt. And I don't understand, why go to the bother of putting in an anchor at the start and the end and a bolt in the middle and not just bolt it into being reasonably protected? people might actually climb it then.

When 2 giants do a first ascent, they don't notice the reachy bit that they didn't even think was the crux ... More like 21 for me. Divided into 2 pitches as would easily hit ledge above roof of Soft Cell with rope stretch and extended runners. The climbing is ok and probably more fun if you plan to do it in 2 pitches and aren't constantly thinking about avoiding rope drag on a long wandering pitch.

What a pleasure. Every part was fun. The day was hot and we had little water but it didn't matter in the end as the climb was so good.

Hardest trad lead on this araps trip. Crux pitch was awsome. I missed the crucial jug on first 4 attempts/downclimb. First pitch was fun too. Big expoure getting to the belay ledge. I lead the 1st, 3rd, 5th pitch. Climbed with Matt. We were slowed down by groups in from of us. Climb is a 16
