βeta: Linked the first two pitches which is easy enough to do and speeds things up nicely. Managed to find some off route boulder problems on pitch 3. Pitch 4 (crack and face to the top of the Bat) was nice and easier than expected. Neither ‘bold’ as marked in the Latter guide and we didn’t think had any 5b on it. Looks harder than it is. Route after this was very difficult to find. Not really sure if we were on off off route for the next 100m. Lots of dirtyish blocks and cracks. All in all a fun day out but a bit underwhelmed by the route compared to The Bat or Torro. | βeta? | |
