No, not dirty, but mind you, it was almost dark, I was on top rope and wanting to get out of there. So, I didn't pay too much attention. I think that, overall, the rock quality is top notch with the exception of a short stretch on pitch two. Someone will pull off that wafer thin membrane near the arête's edge and spend some hard-earned frequent flyer points.

BTW, for those wanting to repeat this Yak feast, here a picture of Martijn starting pitch one, just to help ID the route.

Martijn leading pitch one of Yak Banquet. This time, we went for two twin-clipped 9.1 mm half-ropes also rated as single or was it two 9.1 doubles rated as singles? Oh well...
