This is what Michael Stone said when I asked him...Kinky is Mikl

The original finish to JW basically followed up just to the left of the arête(so far as I can remember). The only reason that I moved into Quo Vadis was to belay. We stepped straight back left off the belay to start the second pitch. I presume that it is now done in one pitch which would obviate the need to move into Quo Vadis. I don’t know what Kinky has done re bolting, but if it was him that did the re-bolting it’s probably right because he led the second pitch on the first ascent. On looking at the picture in the new guide, I may be wrong in saying that we climbed on the left of the arête. That may only have been the last couple of moves. Before that it looks to be on the right of the arête. This may not be much help, but as I say I seconded that pitch, and was up it like a rat up a drain and so wasn’t paying much attention to it. I certainly didn’t think that it was the crux. It wasn’t well protected, but then neither was the first pitch. Still, nice to know that it still gets a few ascents.
