βeta: Goes direct through top overhang then left to lower off. This has now become easier after a new hold appeared. I did this trad at E1 5c originally but it wasn't me who retro-bolted it so don't blame me for the bolt spacing. However, first bolt protects crux then steady moves to second bolt, which is high to protect moves above above the ledge. 5+ was original grade but more recent climbs have had softer grading so probably this one should be given 6a.

βeta: Dangerous gap between 1st and 2nd bolt, not that much better bolted above, felt harder than 5C!! A poor route.

βeta: Left hand finish at the top as straight through the overlap looked far too pumpy for the grade. Big loose block at the right of the crack section low down, the huge block you need to pull on for the direct finish doesn't look attached to anything either.

βeta: If you follow the route as described in Gary's guide you'll end up on the left hand finish to Senter Home (6a+) - rather harder than 5+!
