βeta: Easier for a shorter climber for sure. The gap between the main shelf and the roof is easier to rest on with short limbs. Rest before stepping the right foot out onto the west facing wall to save your arms for the laid back moves. | ||

βeta: NOW UNSTABLE !!!!!!!!!! Chest sized block detatched!!!!!!! Lead the route leaving the draws in for my partner to climb afterwards. Using slightly different beta he climbed to about the height of the lip of the cave, at which point he pulled on a block a little before the first clip which detached. Managed to half catch him and get both of us out the way safely although the block landed on my rope mashing 15-20m of it. It is possible that this block was supporting others above it so the entire start of the route may now be compromised. Would be good if someone who knows more about rock quality could confirm. | βeta? | |
