βeta: Anchor needs some attention, 2 rusty maillons which sit strange, 1 good maillon which is finger tight. With 2 draws at the top and a personal anchor, becomes super fiddly. When I started to lower off to clean, the rope started to rub against the good maillon, was pretty sketchy! Had to go back up and tighten as much as I could would fingers.

βeta: Nice route and not chossy at all if you climb the right line (follow the bolts on the face and avoid the corner!)

βeta: Excellent route. It uses, but keeps left of, the flakey corner, but no loose rock to speak of. Pleasantly sustained but never draining or hard.

βeta: Didn't find it loose in the slightest, maybe all the loose stuff has been knocked off now? Worthy or another star I'd say

βeta: As with other route..really chossy. Stepped up and brought a big chunk down with one of my feet, then just below 4th pulled on a side pull which came away in a large block in my hand as I fell off (I'm only 11 stone, honest). Unsure if will have any effect on grade.
