βeta: 4th pitch is pitch 3 (final pitch) of Hieronymous, not pitch 4. The 3rd (traverse) pitch is short and easy, meaning the route is derived from the best pitches of two HVS routes. I used the huge wire and shackle up and left as abseil point, enabling the start point ledge to be accessed, with a bit of diagonal effort. Probably 50m. | βeta? | |
