Possible new route?

Location: Gola - Twin Cave Buttress Area
Grade: E4 6c
Length: 25m

First ascent: Nick Colton and Martin Doyle 18.9. 2005

Route Description:

We're not sure whether this is a new route so haven't named it yet.

The route climbs a very direct line up the wall between Pride of All (IG 95) and Fortune's Arete (IG 96) in the guidebook.

Description: Just left of the start of Fortunes's Arete, climb the wall to a prominent flake crack. Up this to a ledge. Continue direct keeping the big overhang to your left, to attain the huge ledge below the top. From there, finish by climbing the obvious short leftwards slanting crack to the top.

A new route on Gola. - E4 6C

Further request: Is 'Jolly..' the name for Nick and Martin's route or is it the name for an as-yet-unsubmitted route by Al & James? Will ammend name once this is clear.

More details please, we need to establish who did this first and were the lines the same? Photos would probably help, if available.
