P2 and 4. Steady climbing but didn't think the route was actually that good a line. Its quite wandering which makes route finding a bit tricky.

75m route of 4 pitches which we merged into 2. I lead Pitches 1+2 (20m+20m) Good, easy climb, big runouts at times (through mostly choice) but the climbing was piss-easy so didn't really matter. NO hard moves or worrying bits. Probably would have been worth using halves as the rope drag was ridiculous after 40m of winding climbing. Bomber belay point which I belayed just below as the ledge was full of people already. Ed lead pitches 3+4 (15m+20m) Consisted of 6m traverse right from ledge which was dodgy, little gear although belay was bomber. Managed to leave our bag at the belay ledge so Adam and Ed ran up a Vdiff to pick it up on their way up.

Best climb ever so far...the traversing not as difficult as described. Ascent to the start quite tough but loads of fun and good scrambling.
Matt Bleesen - AltLd O/S - 21/Apr/11 with Fiona Beattie, Johann Urbano

Little off route during pitch 3, think I might have crossed over onto Satan's Slit but still bloody fun.

tomc - 2nd - 05/Sep/10

Lead it all - think I managed to stay on the route. Nice climbing, not sure it's worth 3 stars though. Left belay between pitch 3 and 4 up for friends of friends coming up behind us. They couldn't get one of my nuts out and thought I was joking when I said the laws of trad climbing means he owes me a new one. :( My favourite No. 2 WC nut!!!

Lead p1 & 3
isi_o - AltLd - 02/Sep/10 with Rich Parker

Got lost on 4th pitch after setting up 3rd belay too early and had to climb back along a ramp to the bolt. Lead all four pitches. First lead with a fucksac full of gear made life interesting.
