I have seen some photos of this route, and it looks amazing
Can anyone provide some good details on both route and accessing this route.
I don't have a guide book for the mountains, i only go on memory when i climb up there!
Such useful info would be:
1. is it a sport route or is gear require natural pro
2. do i need 2 ropes to rap off. what size ropes?
3. what is the access like to the route
4. can you rap in from above?
5. what are the belays like and how much gear do i need (bolt plates?, draws, natural pro)
6. any handy beta on the route would be nice.

any reccomended warmups or does the first pitch provide this?

Both i and my climbing partner have very limited time for climbing nowdays juggling work and family duties so i'd like to give myself the best preperation / chance to get it done in one visit.
organsing a day's climbing together to fit in with our schedules is a very complex process. i hope you can understand the need for such questions.

many thanks in advance.
