Fun outing but a bit loose in places! be careful pulling on anything in the cracks, there was a big super chalked up block that I tried pulling on which made it start moving.

First half of the first pitch had some really nice climbing, the second half had some run outs and very worrying blocks, one was larger than me and held in only by (cracked) dirt. Not sure if I was off route but one move seemed much harder than 17, I managed to skip it using my height to reach some okay holds and do a campus move. Rapped off the first pitch as light and temperature were dropping. Very atmospheric up on the Pipes with fog rolling through

Thesarvo says “copious wires” on P1. I’d suggest that gear is spaced and adequate but definitely not copious. Route finding tricky - I last did this onsight 15 years ago - couldn’t remember it well and it felt a bit unsatisfactory on P1. P2 brilliant and well protected. 1* for P1, 3* for P2.

Great crack section at the end of the 2nd pitch, with no feasible way around the jams. I found route finding on the first pitch tricky. Gear is ample. Classic route with a terrific finish.

Led second pitch this time. Still think the first pitch is better. Whilst great, I reckon this climb is overrated - too ledgey, there's better climbing at the grade elsewhere on the pipes.

Led first pitch. For some reason i thought the first pitch was super runout but it was absolutely fine. Lots of small wires. Fantastic, engaging face climbing on pitch 1, with pitch 2 awesome crack / face climbing. Actually preferred the first pitch. Would do again.

Had to relocate the trad rack. Lots of wrong guesses about sizes. I think this route is not as good or well protected as the guide suggests.
