βeta: Polished holds lower down and I think a broken hold or two further makes this harder than a 4a.

βeta: Hard route for the grade - I find this a more challenging and nervy climb than New Beginings (5c), the line just to the right of it. A couple of big-ish moves past your last clip makes it seem harder than it probably is on lead.

βeta: Nice route, but polished making it a 4+ in my opinion. The crux is about halfway (I assume this to be the case as my second and many others today failed on the same bit!)
