This route has been on my "to do again" list for a long time...it didn't disappoint! Protection was better than I remembered [thank's to modern gear]. However, I did find some of the moves harder than expected as I lacked sufficient flexibility...who wants old age! Really enjoyed it though, recommend to those operating in the E2 grade.
Belayed and photographed with radio shutter release by Jack Coulton.

Update: the grade is E2 5b * in Franco's latest guide.

Nice one Tony! I’m glad to see you are still going well. You won’t get me on the neighboring Three Screaming Popes 28 years after my first ascent!
