We started at Sail Slab, home of three supposed VB problems. We managed to get Sail Arete first. Once I figured out how to get onto the ledge, we were away with Mantel and Pocket. Sail Slab was impossible for us to even get on the slab. One of those occasions where our diminutive stature did not help.

We then went to Wildy's Arete, only managed Jobby (V0-) up the right hand side. We couldn't figure out Slab and Crack (V0-), the upper handholds didn't seem high enough to manage getting over the overhang. On the back, Micky (VB) had a nasty drop onto a boulder that neither of us fancied. Before we went we had a shot of Potty (V0) but, once again, a few more inches would have made it easy. Maybe a more dynamic approach might help next time...
