Climbed B Left with JD on tuesday and I though the last pitch was in good shape. It did have lots of hooks and descent screws. There are also a few small rests which help. That being said it is a committing lead and there is definitely no room for error up there. Having a few other grade 5's under your belt would definitely be a good idea in my opinion. Hope that helps. Cheers.

A beautiful day on B. Left yesterday, although busy with three teams squeezing it in before the now increased avi hazard - thanks to all for being so patient and safe. We were in the middle (Shaun was in fine form leading)and grateful when the am clouds moved in and blocked the sun. However, the last pitch was still super wet, but good ice on all pitches. An amazing climb!
