I didn't clean this one first and on the very last move I scrabbled around on the gravel on the final ledge and took a 50 foot fall. I went straight back up and did it before I bottled out.

Great pic and story Pete. I cleaned another O'Sullivan classic today - Cold Grief - impressive.

What's the gear like Pete? Looks a great route to do.

The slope above the top has undergone various slips so you need to check up how to belay and how to get off before you start. The gear was wires and cams until 20 foot from the top where I placed a peg which has probably gone.
