Got the pro required spot on (spotted that small cams would be usefull on some of the vertical, parallel cracks) but underestimated the height of the chimmney at the top. Had hoped I'd be able to reach up for the top and keep my feet out on the face (or at least keep my body out of the crack). When I got there I realised this wasn't going to happen and it turned into a bit of a squeeze .. not what I would have prefered. Still .. great little route. Not sure if 4a is correct .. reckon the move at half height is a little more technical than that.
