βeta: Went up with trad gear, polished af, definitely '4' climbing but polish makes it feel a lot harder than the grade committing to feet you don't know will hold | βeta? | |

βeta: I would not send a beginner up this route, the slab requires locating tiny footholds and being confident enough to trust them. | βeta? | |

βeta: Any idea what the route to the right up the arete is? The arete climb was very nice with some good exposure stepping round onto the other face. Felt about a 4 for me, but I happily reached some jugs from the ledges and scampered up whilst the sub 6foot climbers in my group found this a bit more hairy and strenuous. | βeta? | |

βeta: The polish makes no difference. Solo it and see how much your feet stick when they have to! (it's a remarkable solo but remember you WILL break things, if not lots of things if you fall off). | βeta? | |

βeta: I agree with Dave, the polish made this route more interesting, still very climable. | βeta? | |

βeta: The polish doesn't really affect the good climbing just make sure you place your feet carefully. | βeta? | |
