Flagrant misuse of the silly 4 star system in the guide.

Spent the previous night in the shelter stone after a night walk in (thigh deep snow in places!). One of the team developed savage cramps after the first pitch so we abbed off and exited up the neighboring gully

4.5 hours return from ski car park. Nice remote climb, but not 4 stars.
Andy Moles - Solo O/S - 12/Oct/11 with -

First 2 pitches good. Final pitch very loose and muddy. Not 4 stars, but we couldnt see anything in the clag so maybe the views are what make the climb.

great climb though shame about the last pitch.

Worth doing, exit pitch is a bit of a laugh.
rcammack - AltLd O/S - 31/Aug/10 with Thomas Rust, Chris Gray

Not worth the four stars in the SMC cairngorms guidebook, exit pitch felt dodgy as. The two pitches on the arete are smashing and give great views out to the East and South. Great climb as part of a great day!

really nice climb... total mission of a day, walked for hours in the mist, when we eventually found crag, all the routes we wanted to do were wet so did this instead. awesome route, made the day worthwhile
