βeta: I fell off the top moves, hand slipped off the arete. Probably poor poor balance after not climbing for a year. Chalk on the top move might be wise.

βeta: I backed off this and downclimbed with one more move to the break, lookd like I was going to have ot smear and I didnt fancy it. Is it really vdiff? Have I really got that bad? :)

βeta: So if Trafalgar Wall is S4b (which is about right IMO) why is this VD!!!

βeta: A rarity at Birchen; a bit of a sandbag. Fall-offable at the start and at 3/4 height on the initial slab at the grade, with no protection till the difficulties are over. A thought provoking route, but if VD is the top of your game, good luck.
