The height should really be metric. Charles Matthews 15:35, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A picture would be really nice too.

I think the FA details are probably muddled up - according to the Hamish MacInnes guidebook, the 1966 ascent was by Baillie, Patey and Bonington - I think this was televised?; in 1967 Brown and MacNaught-Davis FA'd the South Face Route and Crew and Haston FA'd the SE Arete - both on TV I think.
