Do you value climbing more than life itself? Then this might be the project for you! Start up A Midsummer Night's Dream (E6); where West Indian Face (E8) moves right, continue straight up and enjoy climbing most of Face Mecca (E9) without the backstop of the Great Wall belay.

Thought to have been tried by John Redhead in the early 90s, and possibly others.

Dave MacLeod:

I remember abseiling down that wall and thinking that would be E11… You'd probably just solo it. [1]
