βeta: The main pitch is reminiscent of climbing on the Black Ladders. The turf provided some good placements after four days of subzero temperatures, but was patchy in places. Ideally needs a partial thaw and refreeze to consolidate it. Exited via a chimney crack to the left? of the original finish. Varied climbing with great positions.
