βeta: a great route but super scary, unless you don't mind climbing a sustained 2m crux above a bolt. the fall is nice and into space thankfully

βeta: Reading earlier comments, I do remember a random 4 in the middle of the crag from my first visit here when just starting out 18mths or so ago - assume it was this (I didn't look for it or try it). It is bolted now and 6a+ felt about right (as graded in new Rockfax / UKC) but the sequence for that grade isn't necessarily obvious. Crux is above gear - pre-equipping 3rd bolt with a 60cm alpine gives a psychological assist.

βeta: This route isn't really bolted. You can awkwardly use the first two bolts from the route to the left but after that you have a long unprotected section you will deck from if you fall.
