βeta: It is possible to finish right of the direct finish to RU to make it more independent.

βeta: Fairly constant 5a/b climbing with just about adequate gear - though not really bold... Easy E2. However, this is the first route I think I've ever got to the top of, thinking it wasn't a good climb... The whole thing feels totally artificial, due to being far easier if you take a half-step left / right. It either needs to be described as an eliminate (no ledge/chimney) just on the arete's left-hand side, or be re-graded to include a sensible climb moving around the arete, and using the good high holds in the chimney (which can still be reached from a position in front of the arete)

βeta: I 2nded this but thoguht the small friend placements, which I investigated quite abit, to eb utterly rubbish in the seocond break, meaning a big deckout if you come off the first hard moves (at about 2/3 height)

βeta: Crux well protected? I didn't trust the marginal cams and escaped into the chimney.
