Done in 7 pitches as per FRCC guide. Snow on ledges, rock's soaking wet throughout and verglased in places. I led P2, P3, P5, P6. Fell off the "slippery crack" on P5, got it clean on second attempt. Graham also had trouble following, so it wasn't just me. Didn't see any queues the guidebook warned about. Great route and a great day out!

Finally made this ascent :) It's been a long time coming... Awful walk in, very little visibility but it cleared up while we were climbing. We kept stringing pitches together, so according to the guidebook, I led first, second, and fifth. The walk out was lovely (we avoided the band for it!) and we took in the summit of Bowfell as well!
