Seconded a year ago. Underestimated it. Too scared and buggered up crux, very thin but well protected.

Not cool on this: 1 or 2 draws left near top when I would have liked 3 or 4, not entirely happy with gear and got annoyed when I found myself rushing something I wouldn't normally rush for fear of being seen to climb too slow. I really don't think this would feel wrong at E3 at all, it's quite sustained, the crux is tricky and the gear low down is nothing to get excited about.

lower section felt like boldish E2 5b, gear felt hard to place, the top crack can be loaded with kit, bring plenty of draws and small wires. 2 star route
