Description:
Follows crack system between Whodunit and Consolation, except for detour to the left on second pitch, to avoid steep corner (on the Gulp route). Strenuous squeeze chimney follows and fun, steep corners to belay at base of steep, short headwall with crack. This used to be rated 5.8, now .10a. Join Whodunit to exit. Burly climbing.

Reminded me of this quote: "I've seen 5.11 divided into 11 different grades of increasing difficulty, as follows: 5.11a, 5.10d, 5.11-, 5.11b, 5.11, 5.11c, 5.9 squeeze, 5.11+, 5.10 OW, 5.12a, 5.11d" — Brutus of Wyde. So if this is 5.8 squeeze on the second pitch, I do not want to know what 5.9 squeeze is...
Did it in 4 long pitches (70m, 60m, 70m, 70m).
Took a fall on the 5.9 move on p3.

Classic!
That head wall that is in question was a bit perplexing for 5.8 but I can recall once I figured out the short face sequence it put you back into a easier layback in a corner. Don't feel it was 5.10 though.

How come they only want me to come along for the Off Widths? Must be true love. Great route with a great OW section. Tricky face moves which Tony lead beautifully.
