βeta: Good route. Boulder problem crux to get started. There was a spooky bit in the lower chimney groove which felt bold but easy. Then glorious overhanging chimney to glory. No need for mega sized cams. | ||

βeta: If midgie conditions are bad, this route is a bad choice. There seems to be a lot of them living in the fault line, at least at the bottom. | βeta? | |

βeta: Brilliant route, not scary as guide says, easy E3. Looks dirty and it is, but don't be put off, that doesn't really affect the climbing. Holds and gear are friable up to the roof, but it's easy. Gear then is excellent. I used a yellow Camelot early on, another under the roof and a blue in top crack. That was plenty. you'd get another blue or bigger in top crack but there's other gear too including a thread which is tricky to wriggle in. | ||
