βeta: Climbed after shunting (recommended). Runout to good gear above the overhang on the left as for Turtle. A hard sequence up and right gains better holds and gear. The top moves involve some heinous clings on tiny fingerholds with an awkward step up. I placed 2 tiny camming devices in the slots vacated by the absent pegs and was pleasantly surprised to find that they held a fall when I first tried leading it. | βeta? | |
