A southerly gale roared through the Cairngorms and held off the rain for a few hours. A good route, awkward in places and very classic.
alan moore - AltLd - Sep/12

Hidden - AltLd - 19/Aug/12

Led pitches 1,2 & 5. Pitch 2 very wet, so followed different line.
barney_edin - AltLd O/S - 18/Aug/12 with Mehmet

Led odd pitches including the awesome pitch 3. Pitch one is very thin and a bit challenging for the short. A few seeps but nothing affecting the route.
Fiona Reid - AltLd O/S - 11/Aug/12 with Mike

Lead 2 & 4 Pitch 1 high in the grade, a good lead by Fiona.

SnowdonGypsy - Aug/12

1st pitch felt fairly run out, and the 3rd pretty hard for VS. Went off route for the top to pitches onto very rotten rock! Only the second pitch was wet, but that could be avoided.

Lead P2 & P4. Great route in stunning weather, was even getting nibbled by midges there was so little wind. P3 is probably the best pitch I had climbed so far.
telemarker - AltLd O/S - 30/Jul/11 with Paul Freudenthal

The corner/crack pitch (3rd) is one of the best pitches of climbing you will ever do!
freudy_love - AltLd O/S - 30/Jul/11 with Stewart Munro

piss wet. a snorkel and wet suit would have been good!

Wet and damp, very tough for the grade given the conditions. 1st pitch, bold had to start up the slab to the right. 3rd pitch the crux and was very wet. 4th pitch was difficult to route find and also seemed harder than 4b. A classic in a great location.

thought this was a tough mountain VS, 1st pitch is bold and the 3rd is very sustained, take plenty of quickdraws for this one, i ran out on pitch 3.

Hidden - Lead - 21/Sep/09

Pretty sustained 3rd pitch, nice
Lawrie Brand - AltLd O/S - 20/Sep/09 with Al Goodridge, Jamie Wilson

Bit drizzly while we were climbing, but good climbing on the 3rd pitch.

Stunning route, Definately ***
auchtubhmor1 - AltLd O/S - 11/Sep/09

Pess wet thru - throughout.Pitch 3 is like Apollo Creed: just keeps hitting you over and over again, rightly the crux, despite the technical 5a-ish demands of pitch 1. Had Anvil's Metal on Metal in my head for the whole climb: Fiercely fantastic!
jimorothy - AltLd - 10/Sep/09 with Rachel Crolla

Making up my own 2nd pitch. Good 5a worth of slab climbing. More interesting than the 4b way. Neil wasn't so keen on slab. I love it. The granite has superb friction.
Skinny Kin - AltLd O/S - 08/Aug/09 with Neil Morbey

P4 is harder than 4b, the start over the bulges is quite bold. Good gear tho, nice route - not sure if it is deserved of 3 stars (2 more like). The crux crack and fault of p3 are excellent.
simon_D - AltLd O/S - 05/Jul/09 with Dan

Top route. Fantastic day out.
HIGHTOWER - AltLd O/S - 05/Jul/09 with Liz

Good climb. 1st and 3rd pitches are 2 star. These pitches seemed hard for the grade, with somewhat awkward moves but very enjoyable. The rest of the pitches are a bit dirty. Route finding is difficult, especially the 4th pitch. On pitch 4 trend right as much as possible, taking the easiest line. Descent is a walk off.

tallthinmonkey - AltLd O/S - 23/Oct/07 with Paul Raistrick

Led pitches 2,4; 2,5 were wet. 3 has to be one of the best pitches I've climbed and 4 was pretty exceptional to, a route well deserving the title classic!
andymoin - AltLd O/S - 09/Sep/07 with Neil Mackenzie

did on typical grey wet 'gorms day.... led pitch 1, 3 (one of the best individual pitchs ive led!!) and 5. lots of water on route makin it all the more exciting!
Neil Mackenzie - AltLd O/S - 08/Sep/07 with Andy

Fairly easy for the grade. A very enjoyable route despite seepage today.
