<p>The first E9 in the UK. Memorably described in <a href="/climber/747/paul-williams">Paul Williams'</a> 1989 guidebook as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It has been said that up the face to the right of <a href="/climb/1075/a-midsummer-night's-dream">A Midsummer Night's Dream</a>, a pitch of such appalling difficulty as to be almost beyond the realms of human comprehension has been ascended without mechanical machinations or other insidious practices normally associated with a route of this calibre...</p>
<p>Protection is at best illusory; the whole sweep of rock affords not so much as a single nubbin on which the thinnest line may be secured, nor a single crack in which the most vestigal of chockstones could hope to gain lodgement. Should the leader fail to negotiate the crux, or be seized by a palsy high on the pitch, disaster must be imminent...</p>
<p>The successful leader, even though he be of a modest disposition, may relax, and justifiably award himself a 'pat on the back'. [1]</p>
