βeta: For the bottom didn't really have time to decide between the pulling up, locking off and dedpointing up to the slightly disappointing rail/flake thing or stepping through on the footholds and going up that way. For the crux higher up in the scoop is realised after stabbing my left foot out, using the high left hand crimpy Gaston bringing my right foot up high and in (after moving left toe down into the little shiny niche) then rolling over with my right hand to the nothingy hold above, just use the very edge of it rather than trying to bed my fingers in towards the back. Then do the slap move out left, shimmy leftwards and cross through with feet and up to the good hold. | ||

βeta: More chipping on this route as well. Boulder problem start now has two more holds on the right of the small edge, just under first bolt. | βeta? | |

βeta: Restored the small right hand crimp on the first crux that broke to something resembling the original. Again probs best not to stand on these edges. | βeta? | |

βeta: The hold you snatch to at full stretch at the end of the difficulties is currently in 2 pieces in my glovebox. I will glue it back on when I have a chance in the next couple of weeks - ( now done 7th May ) | βeta? | |

βeta: Ripped out the crucial hold for the second crux today. It’s now considerably harder (even reachier than before). We tried to find the hold for gluing purposes, but had no luck. | ||

βeta: Felt a couple of grades harder than metal and dust. Not over once you get to the scoop! | ||
