βeta: Gibbed off rightward after gettin too high above my last bit of marginal gear. Don't really like this sort of problem...

βeta: I found 3-4 good bits of gear in the crack leading up to the crux, past that there is nothing but its not really required! Good technical moves, keep to the right of the shallow crack but do not be tempted by the twin cracks! A good VS lead in my book

βeta: I assume you're not supposed to use the left of duo cracks near the top :-( Quite a pleasant route, but a bit of an eliminate as that wretched crack is too close to resist. Can't see how the crux is protected by bomber gear unless a side run is placed (in that crack).

βeta: I agree that some of the gear lower down is a bit dubious but bomber gear protects the crux. More importantly, it's not that thin for slabby 5a, so not 'hard' 5a.

βeta: I soloed it and did think the opportunities for gear were limited. Good moves though.

βeta: Ace technical climbing, Soloed this second go after reversing from what i thought was the crux first time. I'm sure i could have laced it with wires and small friend.

βeta: Pleasantly technical?? I found it scary with poor gear! Eases a bit in the top half of the route though.
