βeta: The 6th bolt is the key one to extend to reduce rope drag, not the fifth as someone else said on here.

βeta: Brilliant climb. The crux blank section looks like it might have lost a big chunk recently which certainly makes it a little challenging - high feet.

βeta: The view from the top is worth mentioning! You're well above the treetops and can see right over the gorge.
