every pitch worth 2 stars minimum. Next time take more that 1.5 litres of water between you... 13 hours up after a slower party ahead and 5 hours down. back to the hut to get some water!! and in tents by 2.

Busy day on the Cassin, with approx 12 parties on it. Big bottleneck at the foot of the steep crack around pitch 12. Not much chance of overtaking after that. Overall about 7 1/2 hours to do the route and 4 1/2 down to the foot of the North Ridge. A couple of moves of 6a, but the main thing is it's 26 pitches so you've got to move.

Amazing route. Did it on the first day it came into condition this year and got stuck behind slower parties. Topped out not long before dark and shared the summit bivvy with six others.
Owain Llewelyn - AltLd - 10/Aug/11 with Dad

Get a really early start - particularly if you want to go down the North Ridge.
zukator - AltLd - 10/Aug/11 with Owain

Brilliant climb. Bone dry. Cruxes felt around the HVS/E1 mark. Lots of in situ gear and good belays when you need them. 14 hours from hut to hut. I will definitely carry more than 1 litre of water next time!

Awesome, but epic descent down North Ridge. Gets more sustained as height is gained.

Wicked route. Be patient on descent. Left car 1am back 9pm, long day! Nothing harder than HVS, first chimney pitch i thought was the crux. Many, many pegs, didnt place a wire. Classic!

Felix lead trickier pitches, but i didn't find them difficult. Destroyed this route 5-6 hrs, v fast. Descent down ridge was pain.
tommytuffa - AltLd O/S - 16/Jul/09 with Felix

Moved together for a lot of it. Cruxes felt very reasonable. Good time 5-6 hrs.
felixthelion - AltLd - 16/Jul/09 with T. Brookes

Excellent route. 7 hours from niche to summit.
HamishD - AltLd O/S - Jul/09 with Tom Ripley

Brilliant Route. Did it two years after first considering it. First up it that day and last off it having abbed onto the NW face by mistake. Joined with some Italians who spent two nights on the mountain. 25hours bivvy to bed but every second was worth it.

Awesome!!! Did it on the wet over 12 hours, topped out as the sun set and climbed the remaining ridge by headtorch to reach bivi hut after 11pm. Great day out. Great route!
Oliver Sherman - AltLd dog - Aug/07 with Andy Sinclair

Wet rock. Oli lead the hard pitches, the star!
Siderunner - AltLd - Aug/07 with Oli

Upper chimneys very wet so pulled on a fair bit of gear there, otherwise all free. Got held up behind a very slow party so had an interesting descent of the N ridge in the dark.

Had to wait for face to clear of snow, chimneys were quite wet. Lead most of the route but Richard lead at least one of the nicer pitches. Descended the North Ridge. Most of climbing is less fine than the Cengalo
