βeta: First main pitch is steep but easy moves with good holds and good gear and makes a lovely E2. Sadly the 2nd pitch spoils tbe route somewhat as whilst it starts easy the wider upper crack is quite traditional trutchy HVS style climbing that feels as hard as the first pitch but this is more due to the difficulty of protecting the wide crack and the alkward nature of the climbing than the overall difficulty. Even running the 2 pitches together it didn't feel near E3 as others have suggested. | βeta? | |
