Nice article, though Wish You Were Here is not E3. Funnily enough the smoothness of the rock makes taping up probably less necessary than some other crack venues.

Remember doing Super Charger.

A superb route, even after it started pissing down half way up the 3rd pitch

Such a great place to go climbing. Just when we thought the climbing couldn't get any better we had a pod of killer whales swim past mid route.

Good article.

One of my all time favourite locations for climbing at, and where I led my first proper E2 Wall Street. A special place in my memories! Super charger just looked terrifying! Maybe one day I’ll go back for it!

Sore phalanges and Wish You Were Here were George Szuca’s routes, he graded Wish You Were Here E1.

I'll need to get back there soon.

'Stocks and Stares' should be 'Shocks and Stares'. It's typical Noel Williams route name wordplay, but its location in the Financial Sector should give away the spoonerism even without knowing that!
