βeta: We split the first pitch by belaying after the difficult ramp at the base of the corner (good belay & stance). This worked well to avoid potential rope drag issues & have eyes on the climber. | βeta? | |

βeta: Don't know if we were being thick but struggled to find the route, but once on route the description is very helpful. It starts lower down Equinox gully than we thought, the "obvious ramp" is initially very easy (walking) for the first 5m then gets difficult going left round a triangular roof, the "open corner" is not visible from the equinox gully (hidden behind the arete), the "fine corner crack" is quite an obvious feature visible from below starting as a roof crack about 20m up. | βeta? | |
