βeta: No less than four pieces of good gear in the hand traverse. Expect small footholds.

βeta: Good moves. The Rockfax description of 'trivial' is unfair. It's got very good moves on it albeit they are admittedly short-lived. Also it's tricky for 5b if you can't reach the good pocket and with gear below feet.

βeta: It is 5c if you're short. But then lots of things are, and you can just escape off right after the crux if you can't reach. Seems a bit trivial and artificial for a star, to be honest.

βeta: I'd agree with the reach thing. I couldn't reach the pocket and it's a very hard pull, worth at least 5c. I got Satin 2nd go but couldn't do the 5b move!?

βeta: I'd agree - at 5'10" I could reach the good pocket, but if you are much shorter you have to do a considerably harder move!
