[Ed on Glass Slipper, E2 5b, Black Crag, Langdale, 2 kb]Many people don't bother with ( or can't find ) the gear placemnent. Felt very necky for an E2 but it's not my normal territory. Nice positive slabby moves possibly a bit easy for 5b. Great climb with character

Totally awesome!! Been thinking about this route for weeks and weeks (maybe longer but confessing that would be a sign of serious mental imbalance!) Anybody thinking of top-roping it first - don't - just do it and remember its all reversible!! If God made routes then he'd probably.....
Timo Austino - Solo O/S - 14/Jun/09

Brings shame upon Lakes grading. E1 5a.
georgenorth - Solo - 13/Jun/09

How good is this climb! Not much gear but plenty of lovely little holds for hands and feet and great friction at just about the right angle! I would say E1 5a at most but I can't really comment since I've never lead an E1!

Couldn't find any gear so basically a solo not desperate but slightly character building worth 2 stars
Diggler - Lead O/S - 05/Apr/09 with Calder

E2 5a maybe? Climbing felt easyish but didn't see many opportunities for runners, but i was only top roping!

Much more like E2 on the lead! Better protected than most seem to think - I got 3 RPs and a good large wire in a pocket on the slab. Very positive holds all in all. Mild for grade...

A really good solo. I wanted to do this and it did live up to expectations. E1 5a is probably more like it.
