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? | |

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. | βeta? | |
