βeta: Plenty loose blocks, rocks and flakes on first two pitches, some of which can be avoided by searching out smaller but still fairly positive face holds in the corner but still quite a lot that you cant really avoid using so pull and tread lightly. We climbed pitch 1 & 2 as a single pitch due to suspect rock at the first belay. Above pitch 2 gear, quality of climbing and rock stability improved (in the corner at least, still plenty loose rock as you gain the upper terrace) markedly and it felt comparatively cruisy from this point on.

βeta: Double breeze block size loose stone on second pitch. 15m up after pulling onto the top of a small pillar under steep corner. Block is on LH side and is an obvious good hold for the next move - don't be tempted to pull on it as it's directly above the belay and it moved a scary amount - might need to be trundled by someone!

βeta: fair amount of looseness - could always find a way of moving around loose stuff but definitely felt a bit sketchy, easy final scramble felt like jenga/buckaroo

βeta: Big loose block pitch 1 just a few metres off the ground. Wouldn’t actually come out but very wobbly. Lots of other big loose rocks further up. Needs a good while to dry
