βeta: Removed two, already cross marked, very loose blocks at the top of the route. Had a high chance of dislodging onto the seconder.

βeta: Sufficiently sandy to make footholds seem a little insecure

βeta: Never VS 4c, the bottom bit's easy and there is enough gear where you want it.

βeta: There is nothing on this climb harder than S 4a, even in the wet. Anyone who thinks its under graded at HS needs to climb some proper benchmark HSs !

βeta: Grade seemed OK to me. There's nothing harder than 4a on it. HS 4a suggests bold, which is confirmed by a glance at the first 20 feet.
