First ascent.

Albert Hargreaves:

To take out 130 feet of line on to this entirely virgin face up a steep, loose and grassy wall, tremendously exposed, with no knowledge of what difficulties lay in the 600 odd feet above, was surely mountaineering courage of the highest order. A n d it must have required the utmost skill and route-finding ability, as well as courage, to finish that climb. Despite the many more difficult shorter routes that have been done " unseen " I think this expedition will stand out in the history of British rock-climbing as a most important event. [1]
