135m, 4 pitches. (Sons of the Sun) E3 5a, 5c, 4b, 4b. An excellent four pitch route not to be missed by anyone climbing this grade. A series of crack pitches lead to sparsely bolted slab climbing. The second pitch is the sustained crux all on trad gear, with a breathtaking last few moves. Abseil descent.

Ali led the crux 5c? pitch which felt ok. Pretty nice climbing, bold in places. Shame that there are bolts placed on it as would have been a far more exciting proposition without them! Pitch 3 may have had 1 5a move (if you're short) the rest was pretty easy but unprotected 4c? the crux not sure it was that bad although obviously i was on a top rope. Moves felt steady with bomber gear to your side!

Nice thin slab climbing, bit wet on the crux when we did it so felt more like E3. Agree with others, top two pitches are E1 4c/5a for sure, not much gear!
