βeta: I think this route has changed quite a bit since I last did it. The big flake of Automatix has come off with, I suspect, the boss that used to give a very convenient handhold round the lip of the roof. It's now much more of a heave to continue jamming and/or lunge up for the distant break to the right and/or cheat by bridging right across onto King Swing (still not straightforward). Or maybe I'm just getting old and weak! | βeta? | |
