@Thedynojumper cheers man, its Edge Lane in Millstone Quarry, just near Sheffield In the NW of the UK. loads of quality lines... really good!

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?

Nice work.

@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).
