A really nice mountain route with some excellent pitches. Great final pitch to finish.

Is everybody else playing a joke? You will die if you attempt this route. The cruxes are all unprotected and the final crack pitch is a solo. Dry-ish when we climbed it, but not dry enough. Led P2, P4. Backed off P7 and graciously handed it to Liam. One of the few routes I wouldn't want to return to.

Lead pitch 2,5, and strung 7 and 8 together. Some awesome climbing, some horrible climbing, very mossy, a bit wet in places. Seemed like a bit of an undertaking for my first multipitch.

Lead P2, 3, 5 & 6: an absolutely brilliant route and bone dry when we did it; must a very scary proposition when at all damp.

Got back from the Alps the day before, but forecast said the weather was about to break - just got this route in before the deluge. A great, great classic, reeking with history! Would point out, though, that this is quite a serious route in that two of the hardest moves are just above ledges with doubtful gear, so a fall could entail broken bits. But it's a route any VS leader would remember for a long long time.
