Great route, but I think the grading is a bit on the high side - feels more like a VS 4C. |

I led Protection City the same day as Conor (21/11/10, both of us under the mistaken assumption that it was Chance Meeting! The line taken by Protection City is far nicer, more solid as well) on his recommendation and we both did the direct finish through the overhang (topping out exactly where the number '4' is on the topo.) The finish is fun but watch out from dropping rocks on your belayer. |

Hi Conor, you "advise the direct finish"; have you done it? Sounds good fun, but we'll need to add your name to the direct finish; if, or when, you've done it. 'The Gilmour-finish', do you like it? |

Hey was here a few weeks ago, i'm just looking at the line of protection city would advise the direct finish, slightly overhanging withe loads of jugs!!
Awesome route! |
