What a great route! Doesn't feel much like a slab for most of the first pitch and the crux on the second pitch, despite looking slabby - go figure! A bit of an epic ascent as Phil started up P1 but thought better of it as there was no decent gear before the bulge, so I took over. The moves to the bulge were actually not too bad (more like 5a), getting over it was awkward and after that there was loads of 5b and 5c but with a few rests if you have the stamina! The crux was pretty easy for 6a (may be only hard 5c?) but required determination. Phil seconded quickly and set off up P2 but unfortunately ran out of stamina and couldn't recover after resting on a dodgy nut, so in the ended lowered off. Stance change over faff ensued. I then led P2 on Phil's gear to just below the first hard move. That section was fairly steady and I don't think it made that much difference not placing the gear but it was nice not having to worry about it - thanks, Phil! Some of the gear was a bit iffy but on the whole it wasn't that bold. The crux was tough but fair with sketchy feet but good enough hand holds. Again, perhaps only hard 5c. Easy but run out after that. Overall, I think it's a hard E3 but I'll have the E4 tick! Phil came up pretty quickly again. Had planned to do the last pitch of Jelly Roll but by now it was 7.20pm (having started at 3pm after doing Vember earlier in the day), so we scampered off back down, packed the tent, walked out in the sunset and were down in Llanberis at 10pm. A great end to a fantastic weekend of wild camping and climbing in great weather. Not a single midge in sight but loads of climbers on the crag! Back home at 1.15am and Phil still had to drive to his!

Wow, wow, wow....great climbing, felt pretty steady for E4, lead both pitches, first is one tricky move with loads of gear, second is bolder and more sustained and was a bit damp on the sidepull section, great airy traverse to finish though...go do it!

Got to lead both pitches. Cheers Ad. Always dreamt of my first full day of climbing up at Clog and doing routes like Troach and Silhouette and Great wall. So pulling across on the side pulls of the second pitch crux in the glowing evening sun was a pretty special moment. Thought first pitch was hard and second pitch pretty steady away. Great day!
