βeta: Mega route, big reach over the lip is pretty steady. Good contender for a first HVS if you're lanky | βeta? | |

βeta: Agreed with the last. The start is an exercise in trusting your shoes. The slight overhang is difficult if you can't reach. The alternate is to head left to near the grassy shelf and then climb the arete. Being able to do the splits helps. | ||

βeta: It is no secret that the crux of the route is the long reach over the overlap. Making it the difference between a straightforward 4c for the tall to a 5a or impossible for the short (ape index matters). For me it is the latter (impossible) so I would grade slinking off to the left as a HS 4a/b alternate. | ||
