βeta: Only got a chance for two goes. Ed got cold so we left. Did all the moves and a few links. Tricky top boulder. I think I may have brute forced it a bit. Not sure if that's a good strategy from the ground. Keen to go back and have a redpoint go. Felt 7b to V8 ish.

βeta: Second session- Managed to drill each move and complete in 2 parts. Found a helpful intermediate (mono pinch out right ) at the top crux which makes the move easier for me before reaching to the mono with a right hand. A ticked foot on the left (from Wayne I believe) helps to re-adjust to gain a good right foot to pass through the other moves at the top. Hopefully this will go soon!
