Busy, busy, def not a route to choose on a sunny bank holiday weekend. Lots of traffic meaning we spent ages waiting around. Nice route though.

Characterful late season ascent at the end of a week of bad weather on Arran. Climbed wearing gloves, full waterproof gear and sack, hit by a viscious squall after the step round the rib, after that fair bit more rain and gusty wind on exposed final rib. Three tier chimney was wet and hard in these conditions. A great British adventure!

Mike_Watson_99 - AltLd - 10/Apr/11 with Fiona
Done as 5 pitches, using SMC description, led 1&2, 4&5, 7 (mostly a walk). Mike led 3 and 5.
A very nice route, although the 3 tier chimney is something of an acquired taste
Fiona Reid - AltLd O/S - 10/Apr/11 with Mike
Fantastic. From the ridge traversed round and down Old West.

Led the first two pitches in one. Freddie forgot his rock shoes so despite trying to climb in boots, decided against it. Tried to send the guide book up on his rope, it got stuck with the rope, so we called in a day and ab'ed off and walked up Cir Mhor. Will definately return to complete the route.

Lead last couple of easy pitched on the ridge. 3 tiered chimney was tough! Great climb, situation and exposure.
Jen80 - AltLd - 29/Aug/10 with Cooper
Excellent pitches up and across slabs, but then uncertain of route after the large roof. Ended up climbing two pitches that felt far more VS than VDiff. However still a good outing. (The long cracks and curving rock kept making me think of El Cap!).
hcooper - Lead - 29/Aug/10 with Jennifer Slack
A great route for a 1st multi pitch. joined end pitch of 'south ridge direct' up three tier chimney to the pinnacle. Quality day!
