I'm guess he hasn't heard JustinC's story about soloing this...

Vaguely remember reading something in Climb ages ago about a prominent local wad feeling a bit spooked whilst soloing it, only for a flake to snap on the next - roped - customer. Is that it?

Thats me! and no I have heard none of these stories... all feels fairly solid up there nowadays :S

Total respect. But if you were my son, I'd give you a bollocking.

i can assure you those flakes aint solid.only takes a bit of wet weather.i soloed it once but would not again due to the flakes and the risk of breakage

Ditto to what Mark S says, soloed it once but felt like an idiot afterwards

Back in the "early" days, ie 1970's I saw a bloke solo up this, and then solo back down it, wearing wellingtons !!!!!
