Just pitch 3 up to the Gallery after linking in from Reveille. Gear was all over the place but it protects ok in the end, and the climbing wasn't all that hard
Nick Russell - Lead O/S - 19/May/13 with Emily

Great climb, can't believe i hadn't done it before. p1, direct up to breakfast ledge at 5a, run out. then combined p2&3, using horizontal crack in awkward undercut traverse, past beg belay and up with big rope trag to next belay. finished off on ???

Direct start at 5a. Led P1 & 3. Ran pitch 3 together with P1 of Pink Wall Traverse. Escaped right due to fading light.

Fell on First pitch under the overhang when trying to remove gear. Frictionless slab was very scary, felt like I was about to fall at any moment and the final right hand hold on the traverse was hard to reach.
George Frisby - 2nd dog - 09/Jun/12 with Chris

Unnerving traverse on P2 and very runout P3, good line though.

Bit too overgrown - 2nd pitch was a no go.

Led scary pitch two - delicate slab traverse free of handholds and protection. Excellent route, I thought.

amazing
dan ely - Lead O/S - 23/Jun/10 with jesse

lead all pitches - 2nd pitch was by far the best. With there being a large wet patch if the corner were to be followed right to the top, I traversed halfway across the slab before heading directly up to the undercut break.

Matt led the first pitch (which wasn't this or Dawn Walk, easy climbing with a 4Cish move), I led the second and third. Nice route. Bit of an adventure since Matt forgot his belay and I ended up using an alpine rose to bring him up!

Still get shaky when think about it, blimey. Scariest route i've done.
MagnusL - 2nd O/S - 02/May/05 with My mate Joe

Scary as.
mwh - 2nd O/S - 29/Feb/04 with Paz

Got some gear in then foot traversed a low smeary seam. It's easier to hold the slopers below the gear break with feet on ickle blobs, but a lot of people undercut/sit(!) it.

considered VS 4b then but we thought 1st pitch more like 4c. the friction traverse was testing too.
