Cool, I can only imagine what would happen to u from a slip near the top! I recently headpointed my first E3 5c bold arete. It wasn't as high as this and had protection at 2/3 height after the main cruxes. Is that masters edge just to the right of it? I know in that route its standard to use a cam in one of the holes. Were u specifically soloing this route and not interested in the cams placements further down? Also, whats the weird markings/dots all over the wall to the left?
@alfonz1986, cool, was it Archangel the one you headpointed? on Edge Lane, you can use an Alien cam or a tricam in the shot holes, but the hardest move is the very last move and by that time you are hitting the ground gear or no gear. Most people solo this route. the climbing is actually quite easy and not pumpy at all. Yeah, that is Masters Edge (E7 6b/c) to the right, and you can just about protect it (although one guy did break his back on a practice fall).
@kareylarey. Cheers :) Nice 1 for doing it yourself. I don't know about the bottom, at the time it just looked like the correct line and I climbed it first time so didn't bother to work out any other possibilities. I'm going to go and have a look at Green Death (the corner to the right) this summer, so I'll have a go at starting Edge Lane on the right. Cheers, Will
Thanks a lot James. yeah my palms got a bit sweaty too lol. it was a headpoint (as it says in the description). we decided to boulder the bottom section, but i jst kept climbing and got too about half way. i then chickened out and climbed down. managed it clean first time on the top rope tho :)
played where abouts is it dude that looks fun

Good effort dude! Are you meant to climb it on this side at the start? I've climbed it on the other and I recon it's a lot easier...

Very good effort, got my palms sweating at the top there. Onsight or headpoint?
