Thought the move to the break was going to be the crux but turned out to be the higher move. Kept left of the aręte at the top but felt artificial.

mattorford - Lead - 16/Mar/12

Avoided the aręte for stretchy crux but moved right off block for penultimate move, but was so pumped falling was a cert otherwise. Only E1 that way I reckon, and HVS if you use the arete for crux. Blinkers needed for E2 tick. Not done many eliminates and routes like this remind me why I shouldn't bother. Nice crux move tho.

Still a good climb, worth two stars I reckon, steady warm up wall, then reachy move and some pumpy jugs to finish. Awkward to get onto block at top, ended up lying down today!
Chad123 - Lead rpt - 26/Feb/12 with Emily

Sean Kelly - 2012

Never too hard but there's a longish move between breaks and the arms needed a good shakeout at the rest below the top wall. Nice finish.
jkarran - Lead - 27/Nov/11 with Pete

petellis - 2nd rpt - 27/Nov/11 with Cleric James Koran

E1 5c the way I did it. No holds shared with Blizzard ridge and avoided the ledges to the right of the crux but used the flake for my right hand under the overhanging block. don't know whether this is in or not but sod it eliminates are a bit rubbish. Felt natural the way I did it, with one 5c move and sustained 5bish climbing above

Got to the block near top after a fall on the crux (reach dependent move) and a rest higher up. Backed off because the block at the top moved forward several inches! Dissapointed cause I was really enjoying the route :(

CJEFF - Lead RP - May/10 with Doctor Bunny

confirmed view that its a good E2 5c (lowish in grade) if you stick to the line. Anywhere near the arete or the groove in it is well off-route.

Very easy for E2 and good gear the whole way. The line is reasonably independent and avoiding Blizzard is not too hard.

Nice climb. Worth more than the one star in the guide.
alexyoung - 2nd O/S - 29/Aug/09 with Dave the Dentist

Very good route, but not really E2. Open climbing with just about enough protection. Starting to get a little pumpy towards the top but good rests if you shuffle about a bit.

SteveM - 2nd O/S - 20/Oct/08 with Cragrat Rich

Backed off in the past and downclimbed... Different story today. Both this and the other 'so-called' E2 5c today felt soft, although both had added spice. In this case it came in the form of blustery gales and spits of rain throughout the crux section. Mmmmm, nice to be back on grit eh?
Cragrat Rich - Lead O/S - 20/Oct/08

Hidden - Lead O/S - 20/Oct/08

Tough climb (it says E1-5c in my book), got to the last section, but had to escape onto Blizzard Ridge... Pumped out.
AndyM-LVB - Lead dnf - 11/Oct/08 with Brendan Ferguson

very worthwhile - with relatively sustained climbing and good moves especially the one going over the protruding flake at the top. very hard to stay away from the arete - cant see how it can be climbed at the grade without occasional use of stuff on / near the arete?

A difficult one to grade - very easy to escape (unfortunately!) onto Blizzard Ridge and the height factor changes the grade, though the bottom section is quite bold either way, and it keeps going after the long stretches. E1+1/2??

One rest above crux due to pump and being slow to work out the next couple of moves. I think this is definitely worth E2 - the crux was certainly harder than you would expect on an E1 in any case and it doesnt let up quickly afterwards. Perhaps people voting E1 used too many of the holds on Blizzard Ridge without realising, which it is certainly easy to do...
