βeta: What a lovely climb that was. On first sight it looks pretty daunting but all the holds and moves are much more positive than expected. Scary top out but bridging is the way! | βeta? | |

βeta: Wowser! Messed around at the crux a few times, lowered off, let my partner have a stab, messed around at the crux, lowered off.......went up again and traversed further to the right to find a brilliant hold.....got to the rest a few seconds later, stayed for a long time. | ||
