Although short-lived, the thin snaking-crack on the front of the buttress has good moves and good runners. © Rockfax

βeta: Ridiculous sandbag! This is E2 5b in the recent Roaches BMC guide. Don't know about that, but HVS 5b implies that it's safe. It definitely felt way harder than the E1s that I've done. To fall from the crux at the top would be a deck unless you had a sprinter. Great route though.

βeta: nice moves at the start and the mantle - deserves more attention, considering how short the walk-in is from the path!
