I thought it was very good although my partner pulled massive chunks off the bottom and didn’t appreciate it so much. Stay on or to the right of the lower bolts for the better rock - the arête is sketchy at the bottom

Morally a tom-sight. Putting the draws in on the first go since 2018.
Quite proud of this - fingers were so cold I had to hang around at the bottom of the flake for a long time trying to get some feeling back.

One go on TR, one on lead. Pulley + the cold spat me off, as well as bad beta. Realised on lead I can bring my right foot up again to make the crux move solid and not reachy. Go left foot , right intermediate foot, first left hand , right foot up, second left hand, right foot up then reach through. Put long draw in at start of crux, and above ledge. Should be straightforward now if I can get efficiently to the crux moves.
Truly vile route in the top third. Disgusting. Can’t tell if you are holding mud or rock.
