βeta: Nothing hard really but sustained and I thought fairly bold overall. Feels longer than it is. Final section was the highlight for me - cool holds and max exposure!

βeta: I led this first back in '96 but even as a second this time round, the whole thing felt longer, thinner, and bolder than anything that I could recall.

βeta: Really good. Kept right of the crack at the bottom as the face climbing was a bit easier. Mostly better protected than I thought it would be and the run-outs not so bad. Excellent rock.
