βeta: Hope those who just do the start don't think they deserve the tick as half the battle is in finishing it on those steep breaks!

βeta: Hard start past a demoralising finger slot (finger size dependent), probably best dynamic. Rest is pretty nice and worth taking some gear for.

βeta: Dynamic/static with right/left hand from the obvious starting position... all good fun. Better counted as a bouldering problem than a route (i.e. finishing not worth it!)

βeta: I'd agree its more like 6a, seam to remember a crumbly little flake near the top.

βeta: A "fierce pull" or a dynamic move to a good break. The top is tricky but not that bad.
