βeta: Slippery on damp day but swallows up gear. One fall after standing on the sloping smear to the right of crack for a little too long. Also distracted by red parrot circling overhead, this may have been an omen of things to come.

βeta: I thought this was a fantastic route. The proximity of the cracks on the left doesn't detract from it as there was no temptation to use them, they're in the wrong place. Tricky in the central section where the crack becomes too shallow for either holds or gear, but well protected and interesting throughout.
