Nice but with a horrible initial problem. An early move is required to gain a small ledge at around chest height; mantelling is difficult because of the encroaching slab on the left. The obvious options would be a layback against the undercut flake on the left, or a simple series of steps up on footholds, or a toe jam in the corner. Unfortunately none of these were possible because of the horrendous polish that completely blights the position; all rock below waist height might as well be coated with black ice. Eventually after considering every possible option I was forced at full stretch to put both index fingers on a small hold, and then jump for the ledge, a move that felt a lot more than the 4c assigned in the guide. Fortunately the rest of the route was ok, (probably because so few people get past that first step). In fact the middle and upper parts were a real pleasure, plenty of gear placements, varied moves up and over shattered limestone to a final smooth-looking slab that yielded more than ample holds when looked at a little more closely. I would recommend this route, though with reservations because of that early polish.
