βeta: What a lovely route! I saw it and had to give it a go. I was actually surprised when I saw that it was only HVS, but when on it this seems fair. The hardest move is the first one then just keep going to the break. The top section is fairly run out though. Not really E1 - it is similar to crescent arete at Stanage. | βeta? | |

βeta: 5b with no gear has to be E1 surely. The landing isn't too bad, but falling off the top half would definitely hurt. | βeta? | |

βeta: Fantastic moves to the break and gear (though felt hard for 5b) with an easy but nicely tenuous feeling finish. Joyous climbing - a very fine microroute. | βeta? | |

βeta: Have to agree this would be E1 at stanage: 5b with that landing isn't typical HVS. Awesome all the same | βeta? | |

βeta: Definately needs a fluttery heart symbol - the top moves whilst easy are completely unprotected as are the bottom hard moves which whilst close to the ground are above ankle twisting rocks. | βeta? | |
