Andy took a direct line straight up at the top. Some subsequent ascents have taken an easier line left at the top. Andy's original sequence was harder than the sequence used now with some suggestions being that his sequence was around 8A/+. [2]

Chris Graham:

Having seen Andy on it, he was certainly playing to his bone-crushing finger strength by making a cross through to opposing, shallow pockets and moving up from there whereas Dan ended up making a long move from one of these holds and could just get his fingers onto the poor sloper above. After matching on this, it’s a series of tenuous, balancy moves on some weird looking ‘pancake’ features to the top. [1]
