βeta: Wobbly block low down. Can be avoided but seems keyed in.

βeta: Beware - good handholds low down are on a loose block. Same block is later used for feet but seems ok for a downward force.

βeta: Would also say 5a. Protection took a little bit of thought, especially low down, but was generally good.
