A route with a complicated history.
An indirect line called 'Dyer Straits' was originally climbed by Ian Vickers that used quite a few pegs. James Pearson then removed the pegs and added a direct start suggesting the lofty grade of E12. The route was quickly repeated by Dave Macleod (who was injured at the time) who suggested a downgrade to E9.
10 recorded ascents.
