Rockfax Description
The arete is followed throughout and is steep and quite precarious. A semi-crucial finger-jam is easily blocked by an indifferent (and rather low) runner, or should you just solo it? © Rockfax

βeta: Ignore the boasts - this is a steep, committing, easily fluffable route, with one gear placement that might hold you. Tigh's arete is more amenable and protectable.

βeta: Yeah this is fairly easy. Was gonna put a harness on but didn't bother. Didn't notice any easy gear spots

βeta: Did this last Weds. Runner a joke - wasn't sure it would take bodyweight much less a fall. Mind you, if you fall off the top you'd deck out before the rope comes tight. Moves no easier, and much worse protected, than Tigh's arete, which I did straight afterwards and which gets E1 5a. Go figure!
