Led P2 & 4. Good climbing, but maybe borrows a star from the top half of the indirect, rather than earning its own.

Wow! Biggest Multi-Pitch Done, lovely moves, 2nd n 4th pitch I lead. Decided to chuck it down while leading the 2nd pitch, found shelter under the steep corner. Rain made hard work of the corner, as all the best holds where greesy wet!

IanSteen - 27/Jul/08

Did as four pitches - I led the third; Dave did the first two (4b and 4c). No problems with the climbing and a long leisurely sit on top of the pinnacle while we waited for the team in front to move off. Fantastic weather, warm and sunny with no wind.
sjbutterworth - AltLd O/S - 24/Jul/08 with Dave Fletch

Good - bottom pitch had a challenging section past a small roof, but 4c pitch a soft touch. Overall not much harder than Troutdale Pinnacle

A really nice 4 pitch route, only spoiled slightly by the bank holiday crowds. Pitch 1 was fairly straightforward up a slab and then crack to a ledge - more care needed to prevent the second taking a big swing. The 2nd pitch was a wonderful brown slab. Then a 2 hour wait at the belay point for slow climbers ahead to pass. MA lead the 3rd pitch which was an easy scramble followed by a steep but juggy wall. Mich did really well to get up this. The 4th pitch (shared with the severe) was fun up and around the pinnacle.
