Rab Anderson writing in Mountain magazine:

On the Shelter Stone's Central Slabs the big event was Rick Campbell's ascent of Aphrodite, a big bold pitch based on Run of the Arrow. After free climbing the Snipers overlap he went up right to join Run of the Arrow which was followed to the runner placements where it moves left. Continuing up and right by some very hard climbing to gain a small ledge he then escaped off right to finish up Cupids Bow. This, including the crux 6c section above Run of the Arrow, was climbed on sight and returning the following day to inspect the upper section Campbell abseiled into his high point before continuing directly above to complete an extremely bold 20m plus runout.
