the gear on the left rope was pre-placed as we were taking it in turns to get through the mantelshelf move. The fall from here without the gear is fine, but I would advise having a second belayer sit on the green fence to minimise the swing as the groove can hit you in the thigh and flip you over into the hawthorn.
also worth putting a low runner in the groove on the right rope to stop it doing something similar.

Cool, thanks.

Just wondering because I've been thinking about leading this route but I'm not sure about how bad a fall would be from the mantle with just the gear on the right rope.
