βeta: Similar to other e1 cracks, HVS if you jam, E1 if you can't. Gear is solid, could have sunk a blue and another yellow cam if I'd had it. Laced the cracks thinking I was before the crux, but I was in the crux. Did get one arm bar in the wide bit, and definitely more thumb packed fist jams than hand jams. Feet mostly outside crack aside from 2 moves. | ||

βeta: Nice to see the honest confession of comments about the route's character and grade. This is by no means a straightforward jamming experience; it is surprising awkward with some very strange holds. Still high quality mind | ||
