βeta: Lovely route, although I didn't quite finish it. I fell off going for the 6th (last) clip, then made it, but as I hung there shaking looking at the top section it looked way hard, so I lowered off, will try again another time! | βeta? | |

βeta: Oh well, didn't find the hidden pocket. Went up right and had to hand traverse on crimps to get to the huge jug - felt hard. Pretty good route though. | βeta? | |

βeta: My first 6a lead, wish I had read the above comments before doing it. I could have avoided a lot of messing around at the top. I did find the pocket eventually though. | βeta? | |
