It is, and this pitch is really good though quite short. However, below it is a fantastic 45m 7a+ and above is a 30m 7b wall. 11 pitches altogether.

Hi Brian, Hilary led some of the pitches as well. Equipping and cleaning the route took 19 days altogether, over a period of two years. This year we had 11 fixed ropes all the way up the route. On the Friday we took down 9 of the ropes and about 30 krabs and other stuff, leaving two static ropes - we couldn't have carried them down, we were carrying so much weight anyway. We left them on the harder pitches so we could haul up a sac with food and drink and warm clothes - that's the yellow sac you can see. It's been repeated twice, one party climbing it free on sight, the other frigged the two harder pitches. Thanks for your interest... Jon
