Where it's natural to use the arete use the arete! (and it takes you to a lower off) Climbing the route without using the arete is certainly harder than 6a.

Did this in a bit of a hurry with Clwyd Mountaineering Club because the sun was setting. Mike Doyle will penalise me a clean ascent on this because I inadvertently put a hand on the arrete for balance, so I've down-graded myself! :)

Great route! wander around and across abit and the whole thing clicks into place really nicely! Chains have been removed as of sometime in march/april by the looks of it, unsure why but there are a couple of bolts & rusty stakes accessable from the top. Climb is also more than 12m...
