βeta: Bit of a pointless variant. It's only independent for a couple of damp scrittly moves. Again; like it's neighbour, how is this a top 500 route?!

βeta: Start is probably harder than 5a now with all the polish.

βeta: Hard to believe this gets HVS 5b - more like VS 5a, and slightly more bold than Nelson's Slab.

βeta: Barely independant of Nelson's Slab, and with the crux of the latter still the hardest part. Would only give the slab moves 4b and question its validity as a route.
