Took the wall option from the sentry box - tough 4c climbing with so-so gear a few feet below, a great lead by Carmen. Next time we'll take a no 4 Camalot and stick to the crack! A great route, harder than it looks - miles harder than Innominate!

Tricky middle offwidth section. Fun though, did it with a slight smattering of rain. I think this is harder than its neighbour Innominate Crack.
