This is pretty great, but a bit reach dependent I think. I dit it all first go, but after watching Emma working out the hard bit, and pre-clipped to her gear, so only really led from the second bolt/crux. Still really awesome, can't wait to lead it properly and get onto pitch 2 to get humbled.

Proud to have dogged this as I was pretty intimidated with the idea. Managed the awkward start, but got shut down on the delicate face. Hard 4th (?) clip! Got the rest without much trouble, but that one move didn't go even on TR. Did it all in 1 pitch.

Spooge on the first half made it very difficult. After taking the first fall, it became a boulder problem.

Definitely an engaging route at a few points. The arete made for some interesting climbing hugging the rock and trying to peek around the corner to find holds. Made me spend a lot of time trying to rest and thinking about which position I needed to be in to move off into the next sequence. The crux on blunt instrument also took a while to explore the options and finally commit to the moves. Real good.

Maybe a 16 Trad without a 15kg backpack on. Had several holds break so I would not recommend soloing due to unstable rock. Jugged up parts of the second pitch. Took over an hour for one person to get up. Spicier than I expected.
