βeta: Moves feel consistent for the grade throughout most of this climb, which makes for a satisfyingly sustained pitch on juggy holds. Turns suddenly crimpy towards the final section. The last 3rd or so has a lot of loose rock. Helmets and vigilance are a must for both belayer and climber on this one. Spectators should stay back from the wall whilst others are climbing.

βeta: Loose hanging blocks at the finish are slightly grim.
