Great Wall, Cloggy

What is the gear like on pitch 1 please? Good/bad, easy to place/fiddly, run out? is there any point where you might hit the floor?

Any beta on this from people that have done it would be great (note: done it, not heard about it, met a guy once who'd done it etc  ;))

cheers 3/9

Can't recall details of gear on pitch one as I seconded it. However i do remember a very tight fitting rock 2 being key pro on the crux of pitch 2, a rock 1 went in the placement much more easily but looked likely to rip.

The first pitch is well-protected: steady E3 6a.  The second pitch is arguably the E4 one, if you think the route is E4.  It's not dangerously badly protected but needs a bit of commitment.
