16 ★★ Libretto Trad 50m ★★ Very Good
It felt a little full-on through the crux at the guidebook's stated 15. Would be bomber gear though on lead.

The Watchtower Faces Right Watchtower Face
21 21 R ★★★ Auto Da Fe - with Callum Trad 90m ★★ Very Good
...Did step off the direct start once though before latching it properly. Wouldn't say R-rated - Good gear all the way but some bits quite intricate / require a bit of creativity. Take RPs/IMPs. Did it in 2 pitches.

R ★★★ Boston's Climb - with Mathew from Mathew the Musical fame. Trad 30m ★★★ Classic
Eventually found someone who would do it with me. 50km/h headwind. Danny gave me a heads-up of how big it is but realistically you just have to get up there, assess, jump.

Agree with all the other comments. The hardest section was def the part shared with the 21. Unless you're supposed to stay on the left of the round arete...?

That start is, as the guide book states, quite polished and not as straight forward as you'd think.

20 ★★★ Take Five - with Kieran
1 20 135m lead by Ian.Grabowski
2 19 lead by Kieran
3 17 lead by Ian.Grabowski
Trad 140m ★★★ Mega Classic
Def 'R' rated. I got more than I bargained for on this one - pretty full-on lead. I only took 4 micro cams (x4/c3s) so I couldn't double down the few spots you could get average pro in the first 18ish metres. You'd want to have a few slab grades in hand and a v.cool head for this. Incredible climbing though - glad I've done it - wouldn't lead P1 again.
