βeta: What a tour de force. A prodigious route for both lovers of crack climbing and the newly initiated. Of course, there's some difficulty in settling debate over the grade: on the one hand this is just about one of the most perfectly protected routes you'll find, certainly so on this cliff. On the other, the first jamming moves are not only a bit weird and awkward (and genuinely unsettling if a bit greasy), they really are a physical handful. No question about the quality tho; a real 4 star pearl..
