12m. A bold route taking an excellent line on great rock. Start right of the arête and climb leftwards onto it, arrange protection at half height then confidently follow the arête to the top.

This felt E1 22 years ago and E1 yesterday.

Good route but definitely not one expects from the description - more sustained and technical than merely bold. There are loads of small wires the whole way up - a few of them are even good.

easy route not really that bold. gear at half height is bomber.

the bomber gear placement at half height is no more, the block the placement went behind has come off!
