a bit meh. top two pitches are the best... and one of those is shared with via UBSA! 6 hours on the route, lead p2,4,5,6,7. pitches 3,5 were a bit stiff for 5+, I agree with the old rockfax more than the new (3,6a,6a,6a,5+,5,5?)
'move up right to the continuation groove' should read '~10m rising traverse right and then back left up the now apparent continuation groove'
lots of shonky bolts/pitons on the harder pitches. Jonathan Emett - AltLd O/S - 18/Oct/12 with swedish marilyn

Bailed about 20m up the 6a pitch (2).
Found gear and rock quality very poor - several very large and loose holds including a huge flake. The newish bolt just above that was a bit of a godsend!
What I did felt like E2 5a, lots of loose rock and little worthwhile gear. Not saying it isnt a good route mind - just not what I had been looking for. No doubt a great adventure if youre up to it!
Worth noting that just above that flake there is a line of polished jugs adn a worn gear placement off right - these holds seem to lead to nowhere! I assume the line continues direct up the initial groove at this point as there was no 'continuation groove' to the right, but I didnt get any further. Si dH - AltLd dnf - 28/Mar/09 with Neil Furniss
