That looks rather impressive, does it take the line of a route if so what's the 'summer' grade?

Agree with the others, I have less than no interest in winter stuff but that looks awesome Pete

Thanks all! Truly one of those dream days where everything happens as you'd like it to. Mixed climbing in the UK really is an amazing and intense little package.

Slopes - it isn't an existing line in summer. There's a perma-wet E2 on the right up the crack.

Nice one Pete, even more impressive, I wouldn't touch that with a stolen cock on the end of a long stick.

Ha! Praise indeed.

None in summer, 3 in winter as a grade IX.

Not bad for an ageing punter :)

I've just withdrawn offer of doing a winter route up here with you! :)
