P1 - Lead Onsite
P2 - 2nd Clean
First pitch wide crack/chimney is very bold unless you have massive gear. Take a .3 microcam for a small pocket at around two thirds height on right lip of crack (where the face meets the crack (or massive gear), otherwise there's risk of a serious deck out from the chimney. |

P2 - 5c - 1/2 TR, 1/2 O/S lead when my partner whipped and came back to the belay. I tied in to his ends of the rope and TRd to his highpoint and led on o/s from there. I also went a much harder thinner direct line from left edge of ledge after crux traverse direct up the pillar, missing the vs-grade traverse far right. Probably same grade once it's cleaned up but felt hard with all the grub on the rock.

A bit sketchy almost all of the way. All gear in vibraty big flake you also use to climb and then the last 10m has no pro (but is thankfully only maybe Brit 4c/5a climbing). A fall would most likely be life changing from anywhere up there onto ledges.
