An enjoyable climb besides the top of pitch 2 (pitch 3 in our case). A few committing moves, especially in a poorly protected traverse. Fun finish.

Jug hauling almost the whole way, with a couple of balancy sections, and another couple of steep and exciting (but still juggy) parts. Ran P2 and P3 together, no problems with protection or rope drag (but did use very long runners).

Runout on traverse pitch 3 not too bad. Be sure to walk to the right of the big belay ledge and check out Watchtower Crack and the face.

good fun, took celia up... shame about the following climber who crossed us at the traverse then moved back and sat under our rope and in my line of sight while celia worked a tricky move... not cool!

Lovely climbing all the way. Went in two pitches (double ropes) which was a blessing 'cos we started late in the afternoon and it was getting dark when we topped out.

Did this one with Eial on a very hot & unpleasant morning, we fried on the rock. Eial was rather scarey to climb with. He ran himself out 10m from the belay on P4 =20m factor 2 fall!
