βeta: Total sandbag finish. 6b until the peg, after that- who knows! Lowered off the handy maillon on bolt before the peg. | βeta? | |

βeta: Not a great route. Poor bolting and totally sandbagged at the top. Not the warmup you are looking for | βeta? | |

βeta: the top move at the final bolt is totally nails and a move way harder than one would expect to find on a 6b. Rest is steady. | βeta? | |

βeta: fairplay to anyone that led this pre-bolts! That top move is fierce. I've not found a stopper move like this on any other 6b to date. Wouldn't have been out of place on a far harder graded route... | βeta? | |

βeta: the previous comments fail to understand the routes history, first done with the one peg to a clean top out. The current route has none of the aura of the original, which fealt as bold as many grit E5's | βeta? | |

βeta: I thought this route was really nice until I clipped the peg and went for the final moves up to and past the lower off - much harder move than you would expect for a 6b route. Also dont look down until you have clipped the first bolt! | βeta? | |
