βeta: A few things left like they could be loose at the top but everything felt solid enough. | βeta? | |

βeta: At least one big loose block remains, as I found out on Sunday. It appeared to be completely detached and only sat on the ledge. It was too busy to see just how well attached it was, but probably should be removed on a quiet day. | βeta? | |

βeta: There are now at least 3 loose blocks. 2 fairly small ones one on top of the other which could easily be dislodged and one bigger one to the right. Easy enough to avoid if you are expecting to find them but could be dangerous if not. They need clearing out when no-one else around. | βeta? | |

βeta: If there was a very heavy and unstable block there it must have fallen off. I just found a small block whicb was didn't seem likely to come off. | βeta? | |

βeta: Great caution required with the block. It is very unstable and very heavy! Also likely to get climbers looking for a good finish to Long Climb. | βeta? | |
