βeta: Pink rope added to lower off May 2025. Red/yellow 7mm cord in good condition. White rope looking a bit worn but ok for now. Abseil is 20-25m, not 30m in Rockfax. | βeta? | |

βeta: An historical classic! It's quite an imposing route, but VS 4b feels right: it makes you think in places, but the holds and gear are good all the way. A great route to add to a linkup across the fellside, with a summit of Gable to finish. | βeta? | |

βeta: Removed tat from ab due to core showing and replaced with 6mm cord as it was all I had on me. Currently there is the black static dating back to 2015 (as seen in the logbooks) with the crab plus my 6mm stuff. If you want to do this route and ab off please bring some replacement tat and mallion with you (the piece I cut out was approx 4m long) | βeta? | |
