βeta: Hardly any gear in the lower sections, maybe one side runner lower down. covered in lichens and sandy. Good gear in top crack. Not a classic.

βeta: Upper section of the slab is currently very dusty and vegetation is creeping in. Not good when many of the moves rely on friction!

βeta: thought this climb was great and would give it two stars. went strait up the slab and it was quite bold, but if taken steadily the holds are there

βeta: If you go direct up the slab it's very bold to start and quite technical throughout. Much more deserving of HVS than, say Bachelors or Bengal Butts
