Is the gear on the left rope pre-placed or have you stepped down?
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.

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.
