Hi, I just posted this under TR's but thought I'd echo it here as it has a few tips and a gear list for those doing this as their first wall.

Good work and always check the weather! LF is on my hit list. I had a blast on W Column.

LF and WC are about the same grade, LF is just longer. If you are new to aid, and sorry if you happen to be an old timer at it, then one of the best things I did was to do one day routes, or parts of routes.

WC, the Prow and Leaning tower all make good in-a-day routes. You might not top out, but that doesn't matter, just rap down before it gets dark. Not hauling, not being exhausted from walking in with 40kg on your back etc. means you will learn a lot more and will have your speed head on. You will also be in the mood to learn to short fix.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
