I was really pleased to second this, the opposite of what I'm comfy with (other than grade) stepping out round the aretes from under the roof was tough, rocking onto a smear was also tough. headed off to an Ab point before the finish of the climb due to inclement weather but bulk done.

Led p1, seemed to tough to get established in the groove at the start. GP lowered off p2 from the step back into the upper groove. I found a Peenut (prob Peenut 3) was useful to protect this move & a Camalot 0.4 upside down in a slot protected the final move left to the belay. E1 5b

hetaher - 28/Mar/11 with Mark
Excellent recommendation from Richard. Sensational positions on P2 going up the initial groove and them moving out onto the arete, with a sting in the tail in the form of a technical bridging corner and swing round an arete. This is now E1 5b (Richard said there used to be a tree in the bridging corner which made things easier).
Led P2.

led top half of p1 and p2. p2 was preeetty wet but i managed to battle through, tried to go out to the arete early and got scared, then reversed, got read the description, went up and did the real finish with a cheeky cut-loose! tough in the wet, crucial holds were out of use espeially on the first groove, and damp on the 2nd groove section. I'd say it was probably E1 in the dry, tough E1 maybe soft E2 in the wet, probably did a 5c move or two on the bottom groove.

Beautiful hot sunny day. Colin led the first pitch -this had a tricky start to a groove. I led the second. It was sustained and difficult. I was mighty relieved to get a high can in and then reach up left and then swarm round and up to finish. Immediately went to Erics for a brew and met Dave and Liz and Ian and Abi across for the day and Ann and Trish who had just done Poor Man's Pueteray. Superb day.
