In reply to UKC News:

As a point of interest/backstory, on the earlier attempt, the retreat gear mentioned (a half in pecker) was climbed above to where the angle turns slabby (and very thin, powerful and bold it sounds), before the crud on the slab wasn't quite holding a fully weighted axe for long. A backward roll down the crag ensued, narrowly missing said ledge!

Good effort for early season without helpful build up.
