Does anybody know exactly where abouts you should rock round onto the slab for the E1 and for the E4 version? I got a little confused? Do you have to stay on the right side all the way up througth the little roof or do you rock round just before it then climb the right side of the slab above toi finish? This way made most sense to me but felt tricky for E1!!

Cheers, hope this makes sense!

The E4 version laybacks the arete on its right side all the way up to the big break/ ledge at 2/3rds height - the last couple of moves being reachy 6a and justifying the grade. For the E1 version you more or less pull on, do one or two moves up then rock left before it gets hard.

Ah that explains a lot, cheers, I am rather lanky so decided it was nails for E1 but super soft for E4

Surprised John Cox hasn't commented, this route hurt his ankle quite badly!
