Georgia Combes	11 Aug, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Not a 6a if you're 5ft3 or less!!! Got up 7a's that were easier than that for my height. On almost nothing for both my feet and left hand (can't reach the left undercut and hold the arete with my right hand ?)

Fidget	18 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: I went back... and flashed it, yippee! Much easier when you already know most of the moves. Richard - I'm not a dwarf (5'7") and can only just reach the ledge by using the sidepull on the left, the tricky bit is having enough strength to haul up a bit and traverse across to the bolt on minimal feet!

Wilbur	5 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: i think it's exactly on the cusp of 5+ and 6A ;o). It should get 6A though just for the exciting rock-over on the spike!! Don't forget there's lots of delicate balancy moves upto the break and even when i reached it i had to semi-pop to the spike!	βeta?

Richard Horn	5 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Think this should have stayed at 5+ myself as you would have to be a bit of a dwarf not to reach the jug in the break from a good foothold.	βeta?

Wilbur	5 Jul, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Agree with your comments about grade - it actually says 6A now on the online database though.. the penultimate bolt, on the other hand, is easy to clip from the ledge although the move to the ledge isn't easy...	βeta?

Fidget	21 Jun, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Really enjoyed this, and am quite chuffed that gets 6a. I didn't quite make it, had to use the side pull to get to the ledge even though I'm not that short, but couldn't find my feet to traverse to the bolt, and dropped off twice before giving up! Will definately be back...

Wilbur	3 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Fantastic. One of the best routes i've done on Portland. tough for 5+ - delicate footwork required at the top as well as a lot of commitment!	βeta?

Alex More	18 Jul, 2004	Show βeta βeta: Great route, easy start gives way to an intricate finish on the arete, graded right at 5+ though, always holds when you need them, atmospheric positions!!!	βeta?
