		First ascent.
		The climbing is now much harder since presumably the "bolt-choppers" unfortunately "removed" a small flake from inside a hold (possibly to hold their abseil rope in with a nut) thereby increasing the difficulty of the original F8a+ climbing. The "new nut placement" is useless on the lead as it hinders the ascent. [1] References [1] On The Edge Issue 95, page 10 and 14
