Qisheng Xie	20 Sep, 2024	Show βeta βeta: Sharing my final beta: at the big rightward move at the lower section, there is a very shallow slit foothold, turns the move into a steady lunge; at the middle section moving left into the rest, high left into a good hold, foot into the slot, right shoulder into slot, smear feet and rock over to left; big campus can be defused with a left heel hook; at the roof don’t rest too long on the right, you need it fresh; left smear helps for the first right hand crimp (use the thumb too); drop knee and unwind for the rail!

Duncan Campbell	13 Sep, 2024	Show βeta βeta: Knocked foothold off for the drop knee on the thumb crux yday. Still possible without (I used a higher more positive foot) and there is a bigger foothold slightly further right. Flo Redpointed it straight after me having never been up there. Threw it straight in the river after. :P	βeta?
