I did TYA as my first E4 (I think) in.....2004? (I think). I was massively inspired to do it for some unknown reason and it was great. I remember lots of fiddly small wires at the start and committing moves out left past a peg, it seemed right at E4 then in my limited experience. The highlight was the runout from the good wires at the rest ledge to the peg - 10m of positive 5b climbing with no gear, just brilliant. I did Malice a few years later with a lot more experience and the top of that felt well worth it's recent E4 upgrading...
Well, as no less a man than Stuart Butler once remarked viz: "If you do it on a top rope, then it's E nowt, (unless it's a traverse, with no runners in place)"!!!!
