βeta: Very stiff for the grade. Hardly any protection on it. Feels more like a severe to be honest. Easy enough climbing but it's a real head game climb. | ||

βeta: Definitely wouldn't recommend as a first VD lead! Cheated crux using the corner on lead then repeated correctly on TR. Good technical climb, but hard to spot the easiest moves and the protection isn't great for a VD. | ||

βeta: Absolutely not a VDiff! Naff all protection available all the way up and the mantels are nails if you are short. Novices beware! | βeta? | |

βeta: Not sure which of the routes on this face I did, but certainly remember 'mantleshelfing' a fair old bit. Thought it was a bit stiff at the grade, but it was blinkin' hot and full of midges. | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice warm-up at the start of the day, worth a star. Although having said that, I only found out there were three routes up the slab after I'd done it, so I may have done a combination of this and the thing to its left. Although I did use one big mantelshelf, just for the name. | βeta? | |
