What the belays like -generous, spikes, cams or nuts, - may climb with smaller partner so spacious with many placements would be ideal
Thanks

One of the belays has an absolutely perfect spike shaped like one of those bollards you get on a harbour wall on a big ledge; stuck in my head as it looks like the rock has been designed with climbing in mind! Can't remember the rest but don't think there was anything awkward. Ace climb, have fun.
In reply to John Kelly: Note that there is more than one possible stance at the top of the flake crack pitch: some folk end up going quite a long way up and left to a larger heathery stance, and thereby inadvertently miss out the crux on the following pitch.
The stances aren't large but they are adequate. Some people don't like the flake at the left end of the foot-ledge at the top of P2 (the long bold-but-easy pitch), so an alternative is to belay just below the foot-ledge - semi hanging but secure. It also makes the start of the next pitch (the flake-crack) less of a dog-leg.
