Packs a punch for 10m of climbing. Climbed at night with a headlamp as a "warm-down", but it got the blood going instead. Some great, tricky, thin arete moves in the top half.

Seconded p1 and OS p2. Probably the most fun I've had on a single pitch of trad. Not to hardest or the best, but super fun. Reminds me of climbing in Pembroke - exciting face climbing protected (well) by small cams and wires. I found it relatively crimpy, but not cruxy?

Excellent and enjoyable route - with some nice corner climbing for the grade. Used the loose flake (beware) on the roof to gain the traverse. Found it a bit awkward to get a nice stance but there are solid edges to stand on.
