βeta: Interesting comments. Don't remember it being that hard. 6a & b French we said, not English, so touching English 5c on one pitch, and we enjoyed all of it including the paper pitches - always good to top out and great summit views in a wild part of Rum :) | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite an undertaking. More a big mountain than a Barrah Canyon feel. Not surprised there aren’t many logs. The area does have quite a wild feel to it. As for the route, well, its best said that it will help if you’ve spent some time in Yosemite (pitch 3 full body off width is full on), whilst the two pitches of finger cracks are sustained (Motorhead, El Dorado style), with some very slick feet and tricky moves. The last three pitches are poor quality and rather detract overall. Steady to rappel but watch for rope snagging. Finally, take the grades with a pinch of salt. Hard to know which pitch was hardest but none of pitches 2-3 should be rated below 6b or E2-E3 or 5.11a in real money. | ||
