8 recorded ascents.
Climber | Style | Ascent Date | Suggested Grade |
---|---|---|---|
Ray Jardine | Lead | worked | May 1977 | |
First ascent. 14 attempts.
An incredible ascent for its time, combining cutting edge difficulty with the technical innovation of friends, which Jardine invented and put to good use on routes like this. The bottom corner was 'pinned out' ie piton scars created to reduce the difficulty.
