βeta: The line for this route differs between the Rockfax print book and app. The book shows a more horizontal traverse to the final bolt of The Running Man while the app shows a more diagonal traverse through the last 2 bolts of Rage. The Running Man finish is much harder and bolder with the crux at the bolt and finishing with a runout, while the Rage finish is much easier and less bold with obvious climbing and close bolts. Not sure what the intended line is. | βeta? | |

βeta: The route now contains 2 bolts and a lower off, but no pegs. The first bolt is quite awkward to clip and could easily be avoided by purists, but does protect the crux. Found the route a bit disappointing, it may as well be fully bolted as it's nothing special. Admittedly the upper section was quite dusty following the recent monsoon - at least that's my excuse for the fall. | βeta? | |

βeta: Yes, shame about the bolts, which we reckon reduce Androids from E2 to E1. (Of course you don't have to clip them...) The lower off is out of reach unless you climb to it and not all climbing is vertically upwards if you get my meaning. However if you don't want to lower off, you're at the top anyway and a top out is very easy. The lower offs are really there for Rage F6b, another stonking route. Chain? What chain? | βeta? | |

βeta: I agree. Spoilt by the lower off and by the bolt. I decided not to clip it as it would have involved climbing slightly off route which made reaching the peg just before the lower off fairly exciting. Where has the other peg gone. Harder than E1 due to the run out but its easy climbing so E2 sounds fair. | βeta? | |
