I did TT a couple of weeks ago. We rapped in around 1030 and were off by 1430, so we missed a lot of the sun. We would have missed more if I hadn't run P3 and P4 together and got shocking rope drag, which slowed us down. 60m ropes are long enough to do this OK, but you need to either place only a few bits of pro in that 60m, or have *very* long slings on what you do clip.

Note that two of the three abseils in are a bit overhanging and quite long, so go accordingly prepared. I've never seen a route with so many ironstone edges chipped off - partly the rock, partly the traffic?

It's ages since I did Sweet Dreams, but as another thread on here discussed, it's really not that great a route and made me miss the West Wall of the Three Sisters, though that also had it's negatives, mainly a couple of bushy stretches.
