Had a quick look at this the other day but back edoff. Poor gear, hollow holds and nothing encouraging above. Has anyone done it? Do you go on the left side of the arete or the right side? You surely don't just laybackl up it at E1! Do you find this valuable?

Did first ascent of this years ago and at the time thought it was easy. Went back to do it last year and backed off it. Top roped it instead and was glad I was not leading it. It must be old age. Do you find this valuable?

Large rockfall has made this harder. Just to the left of the arete bit. When I tried and failed on the route on my last attempt I placed a runner behind the massive block which has now gone, then climbed up onto it in an effort to get on the arete. The route will be purer now but awaits a re ascent and new grade. Do you find this valuable?
