Picalli's Pickle

Has anyone done this beast? It is the heinous roof crack at Robin Hood's Stride, starting at the bottom of Path of the Righteous Man. Starting holds are good, but the jams rapidly get wider than fistwidth and there are bugger all footholds. Do you go head first or feet first?

I did the first ascent of this with Joe Picalli - who I named it after since it was his project I nicked. You do go head first and have to use poor fist jams and foot locks to come out. At one point you use a foot hold on the left side before swinging round to the right wall to finish on the arete. Tape up good it really hurts!
