βeta: On one of my failed attempts I strayed too far left and pulled off a hold :( Shouldn't affect this climb as long as you stay on route.

βeta: Beware the finishing jugs shared with Mutation. The main jug is cracked about 2 or 3 inches from the prow of the incut. Its is wobbling quite a bit. I tried gently to remove it but to no success, however the entire block beneath it which forms part of thd larger rail also moves in place. If these come off they could cause serious damage and given the popularity of the sector injury potential is severe.

βeta: Ripped off a pretty big hold near the start which might make it slightly harder to clip second bolt. Cleaned all the loose stuff

βeta: Possibly worth 6b+ (as in BMC guide) since it lost a flake hold.

βeta: Start seemed hard enough and not very pleasant. The rest is excellent and the route has its own belay. Reaching this is easy enough but a little runout.

βeta: You think that's polished - where else have you climbed ? (just kidding !). Agree that a long reach helps on the crux.
