βeta: Also my first E1 lead. I agree that it is a good first E1 lead as the gear on the crux is good and the route is escapable. Im 6'4" and I found the roof pretty tricky as I had to get 'scrunched' up in order to reach the holds above the roof. The slab is easier than it looks (4a?) although I think there is the potential for decking out at the top of the slab. Well worth doing. NMM

βeta: My first E1 too. Was a bit contrived but pleasant combination of delicate slab at bottom and bold roof at top. I'm 5'10" and found no problem reaching, my partner is several inches shorter and could reach okay once she found appropriate footholds.

βeta: contrived and escapable but some pleasant climbing on the slab none the less. climbing through the roof is problematical but entertaining.
