βeta: Suggesting this route in a guidebook is moronic. Especially as a grade 2 scramble. It is definitely harder. What grade, I don’t know but nothing, and I mean nothing is attached. If you analyse every hold and rock you will realise you are on nothing but a balanced pile of vertical choss. I like climbing limestone and not afraid of chossy routes. If you compare this to Elbow ridge in the Peak at the same grade (something I’ve soloed around 10 times) this is far, far worse in terms of loose rock and much harder moves. Please, please, don’t do this.

βeta: Why's this called Maybe Tower Rib in Mark Reeves' Snowdonia Mountain Walks and Scrambles?

βeta: comparable to climbing on a drum kit, choss city. Cool finish though, exposed as hell
