βeta: Worth one if not two stars! We got to (almost) the bottom of P1 by extending the downward traverse of budhad, which was a really worthwhile adventurous feeling pitch, and worth HVS/E1 5a-ish for the one awkward step into the groove of this route. We had a look at the descent recommended in the guide but it was pretty sketchy. It could be abbed, but then you'd need to ab again down the slab to get to the base, AND then you'd need to repeat most of the descent if you wanted to retrieve your gear. P2 felt hard if escapable - possibly worth E3? Awesome route though - surprised it hasn't been logged on here yet! | ||
