Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
First ascent.

Stevie spied the line from the comfort of Pete's eats in Llanberis then pilfered a knife to go and clean the line. Graded E5 6a, the route became easier as it cleaned up with traffic.

Graded E5 at the time, which would make it one of the first female ascents of an E5 in the UK alongside Jill Lawrence's ascent of Right Wall on the same day.
