βeta: This wonderful route is gradually ageing. I was reluctant to put gear in either flake | βeta? | |

βeta: The flakes were definitely very creaky, I found the move right (think after watching my second I did it the "safer" way) hard but the rest easy. Brilliant combo is t ofinish wit hmiserable miracle. | βeta? | |

βeta: i concur, an exciting move between the flakes (a touch bold & technical) and then it's a jug fest | βeta? | |

βeta: an exciting move between the flakes - both of which were quite creaky (the weight of the second on the righthand flake made a wire irretrievable). The top flake however is a gigantic juggy joy. | βeta? | |

βeta: The left flake is looking grim - it 'flexed' even when I lightly loaded it with a small friend. Hence a bold and unprotected move to get to the right flake. Really pleasant layback moves on the top too. | βeta? | |
