βeta: On pitch two, if the main corner is soaking you can step out left onto the face which was bone dry when the corner was disgusting and went easily at around 4a/4b, much better experience. On pitch 4 the first open corner you see (pinker stone, lots of grass) is not the corner you want, hold your nerve and keep questing up. Stay on the blacker stone and you'll find the corner. | ||

βeta: Not sure what the comments about micro wires / cams we're about. Felt adequately protected with standard gear. | ||

βeta: P1 has the potential to be extremely bold at the crux which feels more like 5a than 4c. BD micros 3 & 4 and 3/8 Alien makes it pretty well protected. | ||

βeta: Tricky couple of moves for vs onto the whaleback. Very small cam protects it but then makes moves harder. | ||

βeta: Starting crack on first can be very wet, pushing you right onto drier but featureless slab - friction smears and no gear although it eases as you go up. Crux on first pitch needs a small cam (I used black totem, DMM 00 may fit) or small (and slightly suspect nuts) to protect the friction dependent crux - tricky when your shoes are wet! Definitely feels like 5a. Second pitch can be absolutely soaking wet and there is loose rock and plenty of dirt / grass. | ||
