Your right neil, those routes, along with tyrany & Red vinyl are highly publisised... Why? because they are hard.... And although all are impressive, with great bits of climbing, the reality is, they are all half a route.

Prime example, who would accept it if you did one of your grade 25/26 projects with one sit?
