βeta: With a soft catch and a small outward jump it is safe to take a lob off the crux pre-clip and fall past the nasty ledge without injury.

βeta: 5th bolt should\'ve been higher to reduce the chance of hitting the ledge

βeta: The creaky, sharp finger rail just below the crux has finally disappeared, making the crux harder. The crucial clip of the sixth bolt would now be very hard from below - would be easier to clip after the crux but this would be scary with the ledge below. I pre-placed a 60cm sling to allow clipping pre-crux and Alice and I led it that way. Probably still 7a but now higher in the grade.

βeta: Unfortunately broke the crux hold - now smaller and more of a sidepull. Crux is now definitely harder, route probably same grade overall though.
