P2 1st bolt on left has been replaced and removed.

Start of the climb (we built a cairn today) with the mentioned bolt holes that have been covered up

P3 belay after

Looking down from belay under roofs

Barad Dur crux pitches (p5 5.10d, red; p6 5.11a/b, yellow)

The relief of that last step out onto the roof of p6. A neat way to spy on Morgal Vale climbers. Don't line up under other climbers on this wall like these kids….bad idea.

Traversing to belay at roof pitch

Pete Keane contemplates the steepness from low on route.

Our entry in summit register!

Looking back on the 5th belay from the end of pitch 6. Airy!

I'm hanging around on the 5th. Looking down from the 6th pitch.

Jonny just through the crux on P5.

First bolt on pitch 2, 1/4"

A lousy view of Chris Wright finishing up P6.
