The route follows the thin crack line up the centre of the main face and is protected by a couple of relatively unreliable nuts and some old bolts. Caff mentioned that if the route had wires in the place of those bolts it would probably be E6. He is fresh off of his impressive 9a ascent of The Big Bang (which he climbed twice), and is feeling 'sport fit' at the minute. He said that the moves felt pretty easy, although there is a distinct lack of good foot holds in the crux section.
Caff is back in the Lakes for a few days, and is planning on heading down to Malham to spend a few days climbing some hard sport.Thanks to Dan McCann for some of the images.

He thinks it would be easier if the bolts were wires? How bad are the bolts?
Are they not pegs? I don't remember any bolts up there, just a sling round spike secured by a wire and then 5-6 pegs to the top.
