βeta: BEWARE ROCKFALL The large block described on a fall from Clotted Cream is the key block that did form the crux of this route. There is now a very large dirty alcove with a sloping floor. Grade is now harder if done direct though the alcove, but easier VS ish? Finish is possible by stepping back right and up from the first projecting block then heading up leftwards to a similar finishing position as the original. A sad loss of one of my favourite Torquay quarry climbs.
