βeta: There's a loose foothold on the right at the crux just above the big ledge. It might be fine for a while yet but it's coming out at some point. Doing the move without it makes it top end 4b.

βeta: The first tree that the new Rockfax book recommends abseiling from is dead. At the time of writing this comment it was still solid but is unlikely to stay that way for long.
