Was there much gear? I seconded this pitch in 1991, and it was almost completely unprotected. The leader did a heroic mantle shelf over the final overhang, missing a large spike on the left. The belay was poor and it all left a bit of a scar

I like this picture, don't think this route gets as much attention as it's more famous neighbour?
I led this pitch in 2010, remember it being thuggy up that corner, adequate protection though (was looking for it on lead!)

John, there were a couple of chockstones in the corner crack that you could thread for protection as well as giving bomber hooks. Thuggy but safe and a great route. The first two pitch's are superb followed by an easier but not insignificant pitch to top out and celebrate.

Thanks for the update. When we did it, the slab was iced up, and the corner completely obscured. This was the easy pitch compared to the levitation on the first pitch. John
