βeta: Good moves along the way but it very polished which ruins the climbing experience.

βeta: Found a sad face chalked on the jug on the right between the 4th and 5th bolts. Loose and hollow. Removed all the offending rock, which has left a nice edge.

βeta: The jug just below the 5th bolt is not solid! Feels like the block is going to come out at some point.

βeta: Couldn't really suss out 6b+ finish so choose the direct option which gives fingery technical climbing and a nice end to the route.

βeta: Surprisingly good route, better than it looks and interesting all the way right up to an exposed finish for which you do need to zig left and zag right quite a bit. Runout middle is easy so don't worry. The climbing in more committing than actually hard.

βeta: Once around the bulge, clip the bolt out left then make the step up. Then unclip it and clip the bolt above you to avoid hideous rope-drag.
