βeta: Yes, this is not really a pleasant route. Defintely for the adventurous and competant leader and second who don't mind loose and crumbly rock and wet holds. With the earlier rockfall there is now also a lot of loose and unstable looking rock above the first part of the route.

βeta: The first 10m or so of this route has been affected by rockfall and is now a different route to the guidebook. It is possible to climb up to join the traverse further right than the original line but there is loose rock and grit. The rest of the route is intact but was very dirty (grit on all the hand holds) and damp on our ascent. Technically, still severe but committing, requires considerable care and confident leader and second. Two stars for the position, none for the rock and condition. A route for the adventurous.
