βeta: Genuinely terrible. Enticed by the flake but route was wet, crumbly, run out and very sharp. DNF after 3/4.

βeta: Absolute bag. Enticing line but spaced bolts and crunchy rock (3 footholds disintegrated - one of which was crucial to get a QD in 3/4 the way up) makes this a bit of a frightener...

βeta: 60m rope is required if you belay from the ground rather than the belay bolts.

βeta: Absolutely wonderful route. Enormous flake (layback-ed or otherwise) all the way past 7 (!) bolts. Recommended to anyone who can climb 6a+ or above. It's a bit of a soft-touch, but definitely still 6a+. Oh, and a 50m rope will only just suffice... Make sure you knot the loose end!
