βeta: A few short 5c sections with good rests in-between. Fully protectable with a good eye for gear. Quality climbing, worth an on-site attempt if recently cleaned. Felt more like E3 5c.

βeta: Good quality line, not too dirty either. Worthwhile!

βeta: Exit ledges fully dug out Jul 23 and most cracks dug out, this produced a lot of loose soil. I have cleaned the worst off so is in better shape than it has been for years. Just in case anyone is interested i would recommend giving it a further brush but have done the worst of it so shouldn't take long. May fully clean and climb at some point in the autumn. if I do will update.
