Andy Lagan - AltLd - 05/Oct/12

Utterly classic - more than lived up to its reputation for me. Great crack climbing on gorgeous golden granite in stunning surroundings. Extremely varied too, requiring most kinds of crack climbing/jamming technique over the course of its 200m. Had some route-finding issues near top, trying to choose most appropriate crack system. Eventually finished up the soaring 'Cretton.' (To locate this, traverse L across bottom of big R slanting gulley, which most parties seemed to take, but doesn't look worthy of rest of route.) I led Contamine start and Tim the S crack and finish, but in between we ran pitches together.

Snow on the first belay made things a bit interesting. intermittent steepness with some delicate slabs. S crack living up to it's name in all but difficulty

Very icy first pitch meant resorted to aid, onsighted the S-Crack but all the faff at the start meant we had to ab without finishing the route. Brilliant route though.
AlistairB - AltLd dnf - Jul/11 with Duncan Meacher

Only did the first 3 pitches, abbed off due to ice

Awesome route, Lead by Nick and Jack for speed and to reduce faff on route, Want to get back and lead some of the pitches though, they were all amazing !

Awsome day out, nice weather. Got a bit lost in the top. Left boots at the start, absailed down to them after. (a bit messy with the traversing)
alpinestar_no1 - AltLd O/S - 11/Sep/10 with astrange

Nice day in the sun! We did the route from the 8:30 lift to Midi. Left big boots and axes at the base of the climb. Abseiled back down and went back up to Midi and down to Cham.

John Carney - 31/Aug/10 with Rob Jarvis

Pretty much ran up this stringing pitchs together with full sacks on, not really acclimatised at all making it very tiring. Weather came in on the last pitch proper, so were a bit lost so bailed off and abbed. Almost became epic. E1 maybe?
smallerrich - AltLd O/S - 04/Aug/10 with Sam

some really good pitches. i felt like shite climbing it tho. was ill, with big pack, and unacclimatised. s-shaped crack was a really ace pitch!

Neil and Phil climbing as a pair ahead of us. Started on Contamine and then crossing under first roof to do the Rebuffat. I got the "S crack" and quaked my way up it - managed not to fall, despite worst disco leg ever as my protection fell out. Couldn't do last pitch as it was snowed up. Abbed as two 3's (an american team joined us).

Done alpine style, i.e. not completely free, but with sacks on would have been tough to get it with no aid. Lost our way abit near top and got caught in some bad weather resulting in a night in the Cosmiques. Awesome day out in the mountains :)
markfairbank - AltLd - 02/Jul/09 with SteveyM

Climbed with full sack. Storm hit. Finished the route but rock shoes and wet grantie don't mix. Aided the S-crack and got a bit lost at the top.
