Inside of the crack was wet and slimy for the middle 3rd (the hard bit). Still felt ok though - we didnt think 5c. If dry, there is no way this would be worth E2 - I would venture to suggest it might get HVS in the peak where people climb more cracks, but definitely E1 max. Perhaps not much even much harder than Altar Crack.....(!) All that said, a good pitch and well worth doing.

Climbed in the dark - wonderfully warm night considering the time of year. Took far too much gear as usual. Great route, although hard to psyche up to leave the good stance on Launching Pad.
