Enjoyably readable TR as usual François. I bolted P1 and was first to set off on the FA but as usual most credit goes to the inimitable Mr Law for pointing out the line and bolting half of P2 and P3, with the Bundy boy wielding his drill for the rest.

As for the number of climbers on FA, well, the lovely Ms Peterson invited herself along, as she is quite friendly with Mikl, then we spent the morning at Shipley waiting for the sun to leave Pulpit Rock, and just kept picking up friends along the way...

Grading...I always thought P2 was 18, but was outvoted on the day. However, popular opinion won out as time went on! P1, maybe 17 but only for a techy slab move or two.

P3 is just classic, you won't do better for the grade anywhere. The exposure exiting the horizontal chimney is unreal. Pity it's not twice as long.

It's all rings and U's, no bolt plates needed.
