I had to make an unpleasant mantle on the left arete to get standing, then some easy but delicate moves across the band to more solid holds on the right arete.
Good effort for getting such an obvious feature climbed; the initial slab is quite pleasant, shame the top half is pretty grim!
Some reasonable (!) skyhook placements at the start, then some nuts behind a highly questionable block, then the big bolt around the left arete - you could maybe hammer a warthog into the choss (chalk-style) but who knows, maybe the top would just collapse on you!
XS 4c maybe a reasonable grade...
