Tried once a while ago and couldn't manage a move. First time today shame it wasn't strictly a flash.

Good, but not as good as Go West on the other side of the valley. Seems fine at 6a+

Pretty hard in my opinion, definitely 6b. Nearly got the direct start but skin wore out after 3/4 tries. Next time...

Always struggled with this as i couldn't reach the good hold around the arete with my feet on. Threw for it today, feet came off but i caught the hold :-) finish feels high. good to finally do this.

Enjoyed this again. My lanky wingspan method of bypassing the crimpy match on the traverse is fool proof! The psychological crux is definately the move off the big flatty. Jumped off a couple of times before girding the loins.

Used a thumb on the pebble - didn't need to cross hands
Gustav - Sent x - 15/May/10 with Matt G

took a few goes to gain the arete. found a way to avoid the cross hands sequence with a long reach through. jumped from the jug 1st time i got there, wobbled my way to the top the second time. scary.
