βeta: P1 very easy to follow the line after that we definitely didn't do the line as per the rockfax topo (maybe because it's changed since the rockfall), didn't feel 4c? P2+3 were maybe 4b at a push? But I assume the rockfall has seriously effected P4, even on top rope felt like HVS/5a be aware it may have gone up a grade or two for the top pitch. Also be aware there's lots of small debris on the route and the top out has lots of head sized rocks eager to take a tumble! Also my partner managed to get a Size 3 Yellow dragonfly cam stuck on P2, if anyone finds it I will pay postage!

βeta: Wicked! First route of the year and since breaking my foot. Only racked up after 5pm and got back to the van gone midnight. Got very cold towards the end. A real adventure!

βeta: Lots of broken rock and precarious hanging loose blocks on the last pitch. What is left of final pitch slab sounds hollow and feels like will come off at some point soon. Suggest avoid. Lots of debris on rest of route too

βeta: Rockfall at the top of Ordinary Route has affected the route. There is a lot of loose debris on route, particularly topping out on the final pitch. We had the crag to ourselves and we’re glad of it. Please be Careful!

βeta: Don't follow the topo line in the little Rockfax NW Classics Pokketz guide (see Wrongfax Variant on here) - the pitch descriptions are correct though.
