Route in great condition, with chewy ice and first time axe placements throughout. Crux is steep but has sinker hooks all the way.

First V on 2nd, felt hard and steep in places
Sankey - 2nd - 21/Mar/11 with Simon Oxley, Adam Hughes
Lovely route especially with the direct finish. Just enough ice to make it not too scary but some exciting bits on the first two pitches....
Chad123 - AltLd O/S - 05/Mar/11 with Kiwi Steve
Great day, fantastic route! James led P1 & 3, I led P2. We then traversed over to the Direct Finish, which was very thin in place, but good fun.

Classic route. Lower pitches in good nick, got a bit thin high up, with poor gear/belays.

Thin ice and little gear, abbed off
farmus21 - 2nd dnf - Dec/09 with Ben Allsford, Tom Ripley
Started this in thick cloud and didn't realise we were even on this route until we'd bailed. It looked hard and was melting fast. Should have been 200m lower on Observatory Ridge!
steveP - AltLd dnf - 21/Mar/09 with Paul Rowlands
steeper than it looked... some hollow and rotten ice

First pitch i ran out 60m with no gear. Ice to thin for screws but ok to climb. scary.
