βeta: Rested after second break. Then fell from above second break. Ripped the two cams out of the higher break. Lower break cam and nut caught me. Cheers Wendy's for the catch

βeta: the friend placements scared me, though I rekon they would hold. i didn't find this a soft touch either but then again i am a baby at this grade.

βeta: Really not E1 if you're using a bouldering mat! Quite steady moves and very reasonale for an onsight solo-able E1

βeta: It is a bit of a soft touch, but depends on how much the dodgy friends scare you. Personally, I think the crux is one move lower than implied by the description. A mate backed off itthinking the upper slab was the hard bit. I got there, and thought that the move past the gear to stand in the break was the crux, meaning a not-horrible fall if you do come off it! Easy E1 definitely.

βeta: My first E1 Hooray!! Soloed as well!(gullible me) A bit of a soft touch. Technical moves to the cracky bit but they felt relatively safe above a bouldering mat. Pleasant climbing above gives it a routey air.
