βeta: I really enjoyed this as a warm up lead, it's not just a dirty thrutch like most other chimneys. Has a wild feel to it, probably because the wind is chasing you up there. | βeta? |

βeta: Theres a big loose block at half height which might scare a beginner (I carefully avoided it soloing), but otherwise agreed. One of the guys I was with did it as his first lead and enjoyed it. | βeta? |

βeta: Good for low exposure but how does it deserve 2 stars? Most of it is a dirty scramble. | βeta? |

βeta: Yup, the hard part is all over by the time your feet are on the first ledge, after that steep stairs and no exposure. | βeta? |
