took 1st and 3rd pitches. The whole climb is just fantastic. Crazy, crazy setting. Main point for anyone thinking about this is that the 1st pitch is definitely aid climbing, so use slings for foot-holds, don't just pull on the threads as this increases the difficulty to something akin to F6b+ without footholds :D....

Took for bloody ever and the climbing itself is fairly uninspiring but it's a great adventure and definitely a 3* climb, like a bigger version of Avernus.

Led P1 and P3, no concept of aid climbing made P1 much more difficult than it had to be. Took all day; brilliant adventure. Had some very close moments with my partner on the belay ledge.

A most excellent adventure. I led P2. Just monkeyed across the aid traverse and didn't faff with foot loops - strenuous but saved loads of time.

Led pitch 2, Alan led rest. Very wet and greasy, entertaining ...

Led P1,3. Good fun aiding into the cave, but very damp up the chimney. Popped out of the blowhole just as the sea fog was receding from the cliffs.

Geart stuff, bit of an adventure. First bit of aid climbing for me.

As clean as one can climb an aid route. I took P1(aid) and P3 for the glory.

Brilliant I took ages doing the aid pitch, Tim put in awesome effort on second pitch was hard work!
Tom Thorne - AltLd O/S - 06/Jun/10 with Tim

did the aid pitch using three 120cm slings, found it quite awkward. pitch 2 and 3 very straight forward.

Second pitch, 4b/4c - top pitch pretty easy. Took 4 and half hours - mainly the aid pitch. A awesome atmospheric climb

What an experience! Messed up the first (aid) pitch for the second. The 2nd and 3rd pitches are pretty easy for VS technically; I think that the VS is there for the atmosphere and seriousness of the route. Highly recommended!

we did paper scissors stone for the lead and I won (lost) so I did P1 and P3....the scariest traverese I've ever done
SGD - AltLd - 22/May/09 with Tom Relf

roped solo - some of the fixed slings are getting worn and at least one broke, make sure to take some narrow tape or rope with you.
