Agreed Alek! it was like climbing sand at one point

This would be a brilliant route in an atmospheric setting if the second half of it was made of rock and not, you know, dust and choss. It may be a bit better now that we've had a couple of parties go up it, but I suspect that it is still extraordinarily loose.

Climbed this route at Climbfest 07. I crashed when a big lump of rock came of in both my hands on the last move to the top. According to a mate who climbed it after me there still is adequate rock to make a move to the top once round the corner at the crux
