βeta: 7A seems like an average grade between possible methods, which are either harder or easier - the rockover onto slab seemed closest to 7A to me, with going to the left arete early being easier and going strictly direct harder.

βeta: Grade wildly depends on how you start. Guidebook specifies RH pinch (I interpreted this to mean the lower one, with the incut thumb, which I think everyone agrees with). No LH is given, so some optimists start on the arĂȘte at probably like 6A, others on an incut sidepull undercut thing on the left of the face at about 6C/+, and others on a sloping crimp reasonably close to the RH pinch which I thought was about 7A and seemed the most obvious. This is a whole lot of words to say that bouldering is contrived and shit!

βeta: Seems there are about 4 ways of doing this, each varying in difficulty! I ended up going straight up the slopers and onto the arete higher up which felt like a hard 7A. If you do the big move to the arete to begin with off the RH pinch instead of going up the slopers (depending upon span) this is probably easier. Didn't try the rocking onto the slab version. Starting on the arete is probably 6A-ish

βeta: Was unsure how to start. I was trying to get my feet on but now realise that could be the 7c
