Started from the ledges at high tide. Almost ended up traversing right round the arete onto the adjacent E2 but reversed before falling into the sea

Led P2. Fabulous route with a bit of everything - brings a grin to your face!
Becky E - AltLd O/S - 21/Aug/12 with David Brown, Graeme Hammond

P2 i found getting onto the flake hard but maybe thats me, thin on gear on P2 but superb, Gets the morning sun as well.
lithos - AltLd - 14/Aug/12 with Peri

pleasant climbing, but the approach/exit to sunset promontory is a bit of a 'mare
