βeta: This climb needs two new bolts to keep it in line with the higher lower off. It feels odd climbing right to the corner then out to the arete on left, would be a nice sustained 6b+ if someone drilled the missing gaps so it went direct

βeta: Is probably harder now due to loss of undercut and mystery extension (anybody owning up to this one???) Thought it felt more like 6c now.
