βeta: There seems to be a "choice" of bolts on this route, so the way to go at the crux is unclear. Not a route for the inexperienced or nervous / 5a their limit. | βeta? | |

βeta: The two staples at the top of the second pitch were said to be loose by two sets of climbers on Sunday August 30th 2022. I lead the route earlier but lowered off a pair of draws in the two bolt hangers below the two staples so I did not test them myself. My friend who cleaned the route also thought the staples were loose and he used the bolt hangers with some dump crabs to lower off. | βeta? | |

βeta: It has some friable holds still. So probably hard to give it a consistent grade. For example one of the larger footholds that I used was clearly new from a bit of rock splitting away! | βeta? | |

βeta: 16 quickdraws needed if you want to do in one pitch. Chain links on top anchor. Double rings at mid way belay. | βeta? | |

βeta: Just above the lower off mid pitch is the crux, feels like a bit of over hang which has potential lost some rock. Move right around the area to climb the crack, good crimps and side pulls to the left. Probably a 6a move. Be careful, loose in places. | ||

βeta: did this on wednesday(4th may). big rock fall near the top meant we had to back off. depends really, if you like that sort of thing. i don't but can see why some would like its adventurousness(is that a word?). again wear helmets (and gumshields, and shoulder pads...) | ||

βeta: Nice climbing up to about the 25-30m mark and then helmets are definately essential. From that point on rock will be raining down left, right and centre as half the cliff comes away in your hands. | βeta? | |
