I think going between the donkey's ears is what makes it severe. Enjoyed that and felt a bit overhanging, but placed the protection, pulled myself up and done it. Nice traverse at the end, and great belay stance at the top, with a sunny derwentwater greeting my first Severe lead of the year.

FRCC description seems inaccurate. Easy 1st pitch from start at flake led directly to the cave, not 6m to L. No 'short chimney'. Pitch 2 via the 'ears' was good. Pitch 4 traverse line did not look 'obvious', and so did the easy VD finish instead.
