βeta: Crux move at the overlap can be done using a shallow undercut for the left hand so that you don\'t need to lunge for the greasy holds above and can do the move static. From the small central flake/crack undercut with the left hand, reach the right hand up to the shallow pocket above you to the right (finding a thumb catch helps). Get both feet on the pair of dark/greasy footholds either side of the crack line. Reach left hand under the overhanging block to your left and find the undercut. Step right foot up and through to tiny flowstone rib, and move left foot out left to a small dark nubbin. Stand up on right foot, right hip in, reach right hand up and over to right-most part of the break above. Swap left foot to where right is, and bring left hand up to hold next to right hand. Sort feet out and move up to better holds. The undercut had very little chalk on it so i\'m guessing some people miss it.

βeta: No where near as fingery as some Battleship Edge or Cuttings routes of a similar grade. Good climbing throughout and don't think the route's in the bag until you actually get to the LO...
