βeta: Ground to middle section is pretty scrappy and indistinct but worth perservering as then turns into an amazing flowing sequence through the little roof and to the chains. I'd 100% give it three stars - the bottom is not great but no worse than other alleged blacknor central classics (Portland Heights for example in which you are literally wading through a back garden). As others have said, it's not the slightest bit elinimate - you'd have to go a LONG way out your way to use any of the holds on Shit Happens and not sure it would be any easier than the actual sequence. | βeta? | |
