Heading to do Astral Stroll tomorrow.

There seems to be a bit of conflicting information about the route post-rockfall.

What i’m after is anything (beta), on the first pitch especially.

Is there any gear in the first pitch (esp the higher level)?

What’s the new belay like, is the gear ok, or would it be simpler/safer to carry on to the end of the 2nd pitch.

TIA

I'd try to run the first two pitches together.

It may not be bone dry tomorrow, there's a lot of mist and humidity around. Leave it until late in the day, and have a Plan B.

When was there a rockfall ? Mates of mine did it ok at Easter blissfully unaware of any change to the route !

Totally unaware of any rockfall when I did it, and best to link the first two pitches. Small gear useful on the first 5b pitch.
