In reply to Mark Stevenson:
You don't really want your 1st E1 to be a soft touch do you..?
But, yes, if you want soft touch and are ok on slabs, I would say...TPS and Namenlos.
Strapiombante is probably pretty desparate as a 1st E1 though very safe. I think I was on speed as I clawed my way over the top.
Long Tall Sally is just no way a good E1, despite what the old guidebook said. And I doubt it is done that much as 1st E1. It's quite technical and the gear is pretty cr@p in the upper half making it quite bold. Lovely route mind.
