Very nice climb up to after the crux pitch. The Rock gets chossy and route finding is hard on the last 3 pitches (follow the flakes). There's a spooky runout on pitch 4. Exposure the whole way up!

One of the best - definitely a highlight of my climbing career. The location is stunning, the rock is bomber from start the finish, the view around the right if the arête is so amazingly airy. All natural with natural belays, a couple of pins here and there. A must do!

Wow! What a beautiful, aesthetic route and pleasurable climb. It starts off with a wonderfully curving crack and then every pitch after is really enjoyable. Some thoughtful gear on pitch 3 but otherwise plentiful opportunities. Great rock throughout. The roof pitch higher up is enjoyable and really cool with the exposure. This was Bec's first big alpine rock climb and she definitely stepped up to the plate. She got through 90% of the first pitch before having to sit on the rope and didn't quite stick the roof sequence, but otherwise sent everything else. Super proud of her efforts and stoke on the day. Deservingly classic and keen to come back to explore some of the other routes on this beautiful piece of rock.

Generally soft, except for the last two moves to the anchor (one could skip, if you clipped the anchor from low, and called it done) -- but pulling the "real" finish felt about 5.9.

Similar to Pi besides it. Top few bolts are a bit runout and can't reach the anchor from the final ledge. Small toe pocket and big sloper to hang onto to reach the chains while about 2m above final bolt. Had to hold chains until tethered.

The WKRG update describes this as a "gear-eating crack" -- but it isn't my idea of a such. To me, that means, anywhere you stop, you've got at least a couple good placements within easy reach. Not so on this. The gear isn't bad... but it isn't "gear-eating crack" quality of good.
