Good hand jams to an actually fun and easy traverse and then quite exposed. Missed a couple of Carrots and ran it out but the top is easy enough.

One grunt at a time in the offwidth! I probably would have pooped myself if I'd had lead pitch 2, that traverse was scary! A #6 would have been useful. Unsure if we were supposed to squeeze through the horrible and non protected chimney at the end. Bailed and decided to top out towards the right instead, much safer.
What an epic adventure!

What a blast! The traverse is Definitely easier for shorter people as it's pretty compressed. The offwidth left big bruises on my thigh how well i was jammed in there and finally got to place my shiny #6. We rapped down after pitch 2 on doubles. New cord to rap off from there.

I led p1 and Ash led p2. We were feeling pretty confident but at p3 we both gave it a good attempt but couldnt figure out the move, I think we were staying too high whilst reading other comments many stayed lower on the slab. Either way would have been a really scary run out with a potential ugly fall. We sadly decided to bail. Left feeling very disappointed with myself for not giving it a good go and humbled by this place. Will be back!

The finger crack at the start is pretty thin and hard to get good finger locks although excellent gear. Got pretty pumped towards the top but fought the fight and miraculously sent it. At first i thought the chimney was quite intimidating but actually climbed pretty easy.

The first pitch was sustained for the grade, absolutely terrific climb. Wish I remembered my crack gloves, left a trail of blood behind. Second pitch was deffo above my ability, that committing and awkward move would have terrified me on lead.
