βeta: Two completely contrasting climbs in one. The bottom is a real struggle up the awkward, slippery, slightly flaring chimney. The top looks intimidating but is actually a real gem, if you've any energy left. Plenty of friction, good holds and some perfect jams. | βeta? | |

βeta: Never a VS but good value for the unsuspecting. I no longer hold the record for the slowest ascent. | ||
