βeta: One crucial (right) foothold on the start is seriously wobbly - but I don't think it's actually in danger of coming out in the near future. Would nonetheless recommend that belayer and rope stay to the left. Definitely not 5a if you eliminate the hold. Rest of the route seems pretty sound.

βeta: Agree with comments that it might be slightly harder than 5a, especially when avoiding loose blocks. But is very well protected throughout. An absolutely excellent climb regardless. Some great moves, one or two even a little thought provoking which feels rare for the grade.

βeta: There\'s a loose hold on the right with an \'X\' on it so avoid that!

βeta: Rock around the bottom on the right sounded far too hollow for sanity, but if you avoid it the start is much harder than 5a. I would seriously recommend the inexperienced stay well clear.
