βeta: The wall on the left hand was still pretty wet so had to take the overhang directly. There was more gear on the route than I expected and it would do with some more traffic. | βeta? | |

βeta: Worthwhile. There is still enough good climbing after the boulder problem start to maintain interest. | βeta? | |
