Very nice climbing. We arrived at the crag at 6.30am and had the place to ourselves for a change. I led P1 and 2 as one, but stopped at the trees to belay. The start is very polished but has good holds. The second pitch felt quite bold and could be quite intimidating for someone just pushing into VS.
