The double bolt belay was installed by Jono Clarke by traversing in from the
gully. He then cleaned all the loose rock off pitch one and left the route
for someone else to claim. During the 2015 Ice and Mixed Festival Daniel
Joll told us to climb the first pitch for the learning to lead clinic, and I
fell off at the crux before getting up on the second try. We went back a few
days later to climb both pitches. Dan reckons the protection is good, but as
a novice trad-climber, I didn't find many good placements for pro.

A sandbag at M3 and with a name like 'learning to lead.' At least without the snow-ramp, traversing into the crack has potential for an poorly protected grounder, and there is a sketchy run out to the second placement too. Not for throwing newbie leaders on!
