βeta: Bit dusty but good... Initially tried crux going right but seemed off route so reversed. Sequence that worked (and I believe is "the line" unless the FA says otherwise??) was: use slopey RH to get up into high undercut, feet up, RH into lowest part of shallow crack, cross LH into upper part of crack, RH to small slopey sidepull, feet up and into good holds... Felt about F6c but add the burly, awkward roof (lots of up and down for me) I'd not argue with F6c+...

βeta: The crux is tricky - I found it hard for F6c but possibly I'm just rubbish at slabby boulder-problems; the rest is straightforward. The lower-off (shared with Choc Speedway) is further left and slightly lower than shown on the topo - it seems a bit unlikely when you get there.

βeta: ...well, except this one - a nice route on solid flowstone.
