mark on the F.A of night prowleri tried this route about a year ago knowing that it had not being led.last week i tried it again on a shunt.i found it o.k.the next next day i got my belay bunny and headed out to lead the route.the bottom section has already being climbed some years ago.this section is 8 meters long,with no protection.your only gear is at your feet when you set off.the crux is the last move.i can honestly say i was a bit scared.although not desperate it concentrates your mind.i called it night prowler and graded it e6 6a about 5.12bx in u.s grade.
