Would agree with previous comments, I seconded Gerard on this though it harder than HS, probably because we stayed more or less in the chimney at the start.

thought this was hard too (last route of weekend) but looking back i don't think i went far enough left, thus climbing the first half of mary deare i suppose

I think this is a "Sandbag" possibly HVS!(but I was tired) Would someone else like to climb it and comment?
