In reply to jon:
I've just uploaded a picture of my mate on the upper wall of the main pitch of The Directissima in 1983, so those who recognise every bulge might be able to see where it goes in relation to today's routes.
Other photos I've got show that we started up the line of what is now
Chiselling the Dragon (7c), which ties in with the "the second pitch was straightened out" description in
The Directissima (A2). My log notes were "A very enjoyable and exposed route that didn't seem very difficult". I remember some of them required nut wires looping over the bolts (no hangers) but I've not noted anything special so they must have felt ok (*). I'm guessing that your ascent was earlier than 1983 so maybe "your" bolts had been replaced.
The last pitch to the top of the cove must have gone somewhere in the area where
Local Hero (7c+) and
Niagara (8a+) are.
* - my log notes "some very manky kit" on
Kyrie Eleison (A1) later that year (wasn't only A1 back then). I remember that several bolts in a row across the roof were too thin to dare putting a crab in so we used larks-footed tape. I was worried that me (as 2nd) being a stone heavier might be the final straw, and remember seeing several shiny new bolts in a row a few weeks later - that must having been an exciting unzipping
