Cheers Andy. Yes UKC and Peakbouldering have drawn a blank on this one.
It seemed such a cool start up the arete, seemed a shame to plonk you toe in a massive chipped hold. If that's the only way it can be done then I'll do it that way but otherwise it seemed possible to use a smear. If its harder than 7B+ then so be it - I will report back (...this may be some time, bit of a trek from Manc!!)
