Led p1 which was bold, with spearse gear.
Pete Nugent - AltLd - 04/Jun/12 with Ian Makin

P1, Rach P2. Climbed past the ledge and had to down climb so as not to ruin Rach's pitch. First pitch was the winner for me. Nice moves and a hard to find gear. P2 is in a lovely position.

I think I went a bit off route lower down, taking a line on the left side of the wall (probably a different climb). At the time, I was intent on finding some protection...

Went the right way on second pitch this time: lovely exposure on final crack; Guidebook grade (MVS) is spot on.

Great route, however spoilt by over-aggressive shoes and resultant epic toe pain. I led the first pitch, and think I was off-route, as what I was climbing was extremely run-out climbing to a very shoddy belay. Great route though - the position on the second pitch is fantastic.
