Take a double set of RPs and double ropes are an advantage.

Great fun! Makes you think consistently. A little scary getting off the ground!

The crux is definitely the start and bottom traverse which unfortunately has very little gear. definite ground fall potential. Wonder if it could be protected by first going straight up for gear and then down climbing to traverse - would be difficult and not sure there would be gear anyway. Rest of the climb is nice.

Interesting. The reputation of the climb had me a bit nervous on the traverse, but with the right gear things aren't too bad.

Settled with this after getting shut down on thundercrack, very different climbs. The wind was howling today and my belayer swapped out mid route so that was notable

My second time doing this one and just as enjoyable! Still can't believe Johnny Dawes did this no hands!!

This was definitely the most difficult gear placing and heady climb I’ve done in a long time. My forearms were fine, but my mind was completely pumped.

Nothing that special, I don't know why so many people talk about it. The view from the top is the best thing about it in my opinion ^^

Really nice and not that runout! Good gear!

Fantastic fun but real chance of a ground fall in the first couple of moves during the traverse. Not a lot of gear. Make sure to bring your micros.

Start is hard and balancy, then it's runout but easy, then reasonably protected the rest of the way

Exciting and engaging. Was not thrilled by the gear. Placements are tiny, thin, and flared. RPs would have been nice. But the climbing is so great! Heady but fun.

Just did it on top rope. It was pretty easy on top rope, but would be a daunting lead due to the lack of good gear and balancy moves. We did the exit to the right of the boulder.

Id been waiting a few years to get on this. A stiff, cold wind howling through only made it all the more sweeter. A very satisfying tick

Amazing. Quite runout, and over very small gear, but the fact that there's good feet (and hence rest available) the whole way makes that much easier to deal with. The crux is the start, and is bouldery and difficult to protect. Once through that, the traverse right is unprotected, but easy and with good gear at both ends. Then there's an additional runout when you move back left. Gear: Mainly RPs and small nuts, with occasional small cams and bigger nuts, and a few bigger cam placements (up to BD #0.75) in the upper half.

Sandbagged, runout, and sustained. Looked like there was gear most of the way up the initial crack, but it'd be difficult to get it in, and then there's a significant runout before the bolt, which included what I felt was the crux, traversing left to the slab under the bolt. Definitely harder than 18 (maybe 20, maybe 19?) and I definitely had no desire to lead this!

Awesome climbing in one of the most spectacular positions you'll find a climb of this grade. Start is quite hard (read: heady) for the grade

with Kim. Very thin and balancy climbing with the bolt at 10 metres bringing welcome relief. Sustained face climbing all the way. Bring lots of small nuts and peanuts

Fantastic climb but definite ground fall potential through the first few placements. Luckily there's plenty of room to rest and take it slow and steady.
