Start at a layback crack directly under the corner of The Armchair.. 1) 5a, 14m. Climb the layback crack with conviction and make tricky moves left and up into the base of the corner. Traverse left to ledges and belay.. 2) 4c, 15m. Climb the slabby wall leftwards, and then up to a belay on a grassy ledge.. 3) 4a, 15m. Traverse 10m rightwards to a steep black corner and finish up this on good holds. © ROCKFAX

I reckon pitch 2 is worth E1 5B. It is bold and technical. I led pitch two.
Kafoozalem - AltLd O/S - 12/Sep/09 with Martin Butler

Interesting route. I did the first pitch and pumped my way across to the belay point rather than making delicate moves as the guide describes. Second pitch seemed way above the grade given in the guide.
rockferret - AltLd O/S - 12/Sep/09 with Pete

Led pitch two, had an epic heading up to0 soon...E3?? retreated and tried again. Headed further left and up the slab at the end. Still felt very bold with a deck out possible!
JPGR - AltLd O/S - Aug/09 with Steve Ahern
