Did these relatively close to each other and found bran flake far easier than Ferdinand, but strangely, both are right at their grade of E25B! Hmmmm 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I've done both a few times and found Bran Flake to be harder. It seems to get harder as you get higher, where as Ferdinand gives in slightly towards the end. Do you find this valuable?

Never done Ferdinand, but I have been on Bran Flake several times. Even when I was leading solid E4 Bran Flake always felt hard! only time I found it relatively benign was one summer I was goin wella nd did a few E5's and 6's. Maybe it doesn't suit my style of climbing. I found the cad on North stack more scary but easier climbing! Do you find this valuable?
