Lead this climb after a number of others in our party had tried (some succeeded). Excellent and varied climbing. Only the bottom ledges that are slightly grassy stop this being a 3 star route.

can't believe the guise gave this no stars! scrabbly start but the arete is magic!
benscarter - Lead O/S - 13/Aug/10
First arete climb, tended to use face only but adapted towards the end. Still not used to exposure, especially spray from waterfall and wind.

A cheeky little start but once on the actual face then real fun. Great little (more like tiny)/slightly overhanging middle section which you just need to commit to! Once through have a good shake out and enjoy the schweet arete to the right creating fantastic holds all the way up - The harder end of F4 indeed...

Guidebook says generous bolting, I think that may be a hint of Rockfax sarcasm as it didn't feel generous. Climbing was fun though, slightly hard for a 4+ in some places.

The middle section is a bit of a challenge, but just loved the arete at the top! Enjoy!

Getting on the route was an uncomfortable squirm onto a dirty ledge, followed by a scramble onto foliage, but from then on pure joy. Gaining the outside of the arete was amazing. Glance around the back; it's thin like a knife blade, providing the best hand holds ever encountered and a straightforward, if sustained final third. The fact that this route doesn't merit any stars in the guidebook speaks volumes for the quality of the climbing here at Portland, because this route is better than many with stars elsewhere.

Lovely climb, bolts seemed generous to me, the fantastic exposure makes it feel less protected. Careful on the low ledge though, bits can come off in your hands.
