2½ stars from a technical 'photograph judging' perspective, due hard to see subject for colour blending with background and distracting shadows in foreground, though I do like the diagonal-line balance perspective in a vertical format and the interest that this different composition brings to the photo.

4 stars from a climbing interest perspective, as it is good to 'feel the height' involved, which the shot portrays well.

Off topic;
I note the ringbolts, but wonder about the possibility of the route going on trad gear?

@ Blatant new route propaganda!
~> EW may find himself 'disbaled' (thanks Hex) as a spammer?
Heh, heh, heh.

Oh I think its a smashing photo. Five stars. As to whether it goes on gear I think you
could get a bit in before the first bolt then not much for the rest but so long as you
never fall off I think it may be a trad line . The section shown is quite steep but I tilted
the pic so it looks vertical. Jess was mid crux and not so impressed that one of my
hands was busy taking a piccy as 3m lower a chossy foot blew leaving her dangling
by one arm over a bit of space. Hah! Smile!!!

Would have given more stars to see that Jess move posted up.

Blueies trad by natural definition is often runout, so this sounds normal.

Since it is bolted how many falls did U take?

it is ok.
luve the ironstone edged near the second runner tho being in a corner of sorts she isnt likely to pendulum on it as second, but leader might be a different matter.
