As the guide book says, rather rambly

βeta: The rock feels like gritstone and has incredible friction where the lichen has been rubbed-off. Most of this route is a (sc)ramble over heather and small outcrops but the climbing bits are harder than Diff. and not well protected. The first belay is further right than you think, on a detached flake. Look out for the Scupper Crack on the way to the first belay - it is the wide, jagged crack in what looks like a huge boulder. On leaving the first belay go two or three metres left to re-join the rock, then trend right to head directly for the Scupper Crack. You can "climb" almost anywhere, but that seems to be the best line with the most rock.
