Also the 'stance' at the end of pitch 1 was one of the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced.

western slabs was fine when i did it on sunday night. i belayed after the first pitch and the ledge was bigger than my bed and there was good runners throughout the climb.
maybe you got the wrong climb.?
