Foumnd the 6a crux fine at the bottom then got slightly too far right at the top (only just left of the crack) which was utterly desperate. Not been that terrified for a while, eventually sketched my way through.

Waist high side runner before going into the crux layaway move, E2 this way, likely groundfall without! Took ages committing to the move but turned out to be ok if reachy. Also took a while committing to the last move on the slab, partly because there were quite, a few options, turned out to be quite easy in the end - 5b? Good moves but the route is a bit eliminate due to proximity to the easier climbs on either side and and is spoilt by an easy section in the middle, so not worth 3* in my book.

Hidden - 2nd - 15/Oct/11
Tarnished ascent grabbing R arete with R hand on final move. No E3 tick, need to come back to do it properly, if I can be bothered. Didn't feel very 3*. No line, lacking in gear at the start, escapable to L or R and question of what constitutes as side runners. Do wires in the thin cracks on the R of the slab count? Would feel like an artificially extended run out without them.

Very annoyed to take the wrong line up the top slab, fell reversing those moves - crux is lower down, felt 6a to me, and taken the right way, the top slab is very steady 5c.

Took me an age, thanks Mark. Found the first move the crux and used a runner for the second but not for the top. The top seemed okay compared to the bottom although the heat made the whole thing seem sketchy.

Not led in E3 style: used side runner at top. Tried without but moves felt very sketchy. Did it instantly and it felt steady as soon as the side runner went in. Need to sort my head out.

First E3. Tried it before at the end of 2007 and found it fine except for the very top move, which I bottled and escaped right (probably just as hard as going upwards). Very grateful to Mongoose for taking the midgies while belaying...

Without side runners. The crux on the lower wall feels very bold but I was assured I wouldn't hit the ground. Upper slab is quite easy until the final move..... but really if you do the bottom you'll find the top trivial.

Without side-runners. Scary. Had previously been rescued off the top move (in the dark!) and I used a side runner at the bottom on that occasion. I would not have attempted it without the side runner if I hadn't done the crux before.
