Can we just put this in context; Ian came painfully close to climbing Cypher at Slipstones prior to Moon's ascent and I can tell you he wouldn't have been doing some futuristic leg flick. Ben did it when Ian was away in Joshua Tree and he subsequently lost interest.

... and Ian didn't give it a name either.

I'd assumed it was named after his daughter?

What Ian’s Arête. :-\

Did seem odd that he named his daughter after himself 😉
(serious mode: whoops, thought we were still talking about Beth's Traverse)

Add me to the list of failed suitors. Spent a good while nervously scrittling around before conceding that I hadn't a clue how to do it. For comparison, Layby Arete took me two goes.

I think a comprehensive descrittling off a rope, then trying it in good conditions would probably do the job. Clearly not 7A though. 7Bish probably nearer the mark.
