βeta: 1st crack is mega polished right foot just slides all over the place and is pretty hard to work your way up from it especially if the gear has taken a fall or has been loaded. Get the legs up high then jam those feet in there to get away and up the arete. Really nice after that.

βeta: Positively disgusting. Those who like slippery handjams may appreciate it. Sane people would do well to avoid.

βeta: A sound route. Always good to watch over-geared Southerners struggling on it.
