Pitch 1 only, leading on pre-placed gear, first proper go on trad. Calm type of fear.

3 stars. Full value 16. Seconded Lewis, who made it look relatively easy. Stuck purely to crack moves as that's what top roping is for! Led the second pitch which was a bit adventurous in the roaring wind.

Terrific toe jamming and laybacks up the crack & tricky move under small roof. Nice climb.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Ro-boat
Ahh such a test piece. Definitely a full value climb. Actually lead the second pitch as well. Wasn't quite as much of a fan. Medium quality rock and not much protection to speak of.

Quick lap seconding Cillian for a warm-up. Much easier the second time round.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Benedict Armitage	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Alastair McDowell
Top quality splitter laybacking! A double rack of 0.5-2 would have been nice, a lot of leap-frogging 1 and 2, had to rig some dodgy gear for the final roof pull-around: super atmospheric in the wind, but not too bad. Be careful with rope drag - the anchor is round to the left.

Great layback, then widens slightly at the top and hand jams are glorious.

Seconded for Loki. Awesome climb nevertheless. Lay back galore till you get to the roof. Got a solid hand jam and enjoyed it thoroughly! Some say it is the hardest route for the grade in the Mountains. Get on it!!!
