Ben watched [Dave MacLeod](/climber/146/dave-macleod) top rope the route before flashing it with the gear in place. He then repeated the route placing all the gear on lead. He found some extra gear that was not used on the first ascent and suggested it brought the grade down to E7/8.

<blockquote> <p>After our extensive testing of the slider this turned into a pretty safe thing although I think <a href="/climber/155">Pete [Robins]</a> saying E7 is possibly a little low (although it is Pete so what you would expect) Comparing to other E7 7as such as <a href="/climb/906/little-women">Little Women</a> and <a href="/climb/2926/groove-is-in-the-heart">Groove is in the Heart</a> (fell off the last move on wed) it felt very slightly easier, Fb7b+ rather than Fb7c?, but a fair bit bolder - both the above are very safe, lots of runners and short falls, the Promise has one ok runner and a ground sweeping (although quite short!) fall. We only felt happy taking the fall on the Promise after a few 'practice' falls from right by it and with 5 pads and a ladder below (I would have been happy with no or one pad on the sunday). </p> <p>I think for James' ascent (not trusting the runner, no pads) you could probably add an E grade or two (I am sure with UKB grade SCIENCE we could work out how many exactly).
