βeta: A worthwhile and enjoyable ramble up the hillside. HVS 5a and not even hard at that grade. Maybe just 1 star, though it's a lovely spot and the rock texture is exquisite. Quite a bit loose/dubious rock on first pitch. 5a and 5b pitches are short-lived, well-protected and about 1 full grade overgraded, though perhaps easier for the tallish.
