βeta: Grade history. The original grade for p1 was 5c. On reflection it was raised to 6a. When the top pitch was added on 29th June 2023 the overall grade rose to 6a+: at this stage there were 2 votes for low 5c, and one each for mid 5c, low 6a and mid 6a. These votes clearly do not include p2 | βeta? | |

βeta: If the last person in a party is intending to second the top pitch they can retrieve the gear on the way up. In this case everyone gets a more comfortable lower off if the top belay of ER is used as a runner, the leaders continue to the top belay of MBR and everyone lowers down the upper part of that route. | βeta? | |
