βeta: When climbing this route, be aware the lower-off chains and the Free the Forwyn chains are very rusty, but it is thick chain so not too bad. The issue is, the chains are single strands from a single bolt and joined together by carabiners that are old and corroded. The chain links are also too small to pass a carabiner through, so you have to clip into the old carabiners and lower off them also, there is not a way to leave a new carabiner if you choose to do so. The Free Forwyn lower-off is through a single old locking carabiner. In reality both of these lower-offs need renewing with good chain linked together by a single ring. | βeta? | |
