Haven't climbed 'Whatever.." although I've climbed my fair share of trad choss in the mountains. Beware old Harry Luxford climbs.. WYL was until recently graded 12.. I've climbed the retro bolted companion route 'Chicken Hearted' (left of WYL) which seemed stiff for 13 and probably a similar 'where does the route go' pitch two. Please, out of towners be very cautious with bluies low grade trad, the holds do have a very bad habit of breaking and spitting you off, I had a very similar experience on Illych out at Lockey's Pylon, falling off pitch 3 with a very large sandstone jug in my hand.
