βeta: Definitely trickier near the start but near the chains was by far the hardest bit. I think this was made worse by me being short. | ||

βeta: Good going for a 5. The start is hard, pullng over the mini-overhang. The last part is tough too, as it's a fairly featureless slab. Gets fluttery near the lower-off. It made me huff and puff! | ||
