Sir
Speaking as a member of the first ascent party, I feel I must challenge your downgrading. The original grade was proposed taking the local ethics into account, and hence allows for the copious amount of medicinal Bowmore 17 consumed during the ascent. In particular, the sitting start certainly deserves more than ED3 due to this factor...
I consider an ascent in any other, more sober style to be disrespectful to this fine mountain; not to mention being downright un-British.
