βeta: Stunning climb. Had a little session working this on a grigri to clean the top and try the moves. Given E6 6b in the Gary Latter guide and E5 6b/c in the 2014 SMC guide. I'd give it E6 6c for the onsight attempt - harder than the classic granite e5/e6 6b slab routes I've onsighted. The gear is good and will keep you off the ground, but the moves are hard and tenuous right to the top (i.e. not 6a) - make sure the top is clean and free of lichen and heather. I wouldn't recommend it as a highball as per Boulder Scotland guide - it feels every inch of 9 metres. | βeta? | |
