βeta: Think something might have fallen off this as it felt hard for the grade! Perhaps we're just weak but it seemed more like 7as in the area.

βeta: NOTE! The crux section is now reaching, clipping, and moving past the second bolt. The rest is relatively straightforward. I'm afraid there used to be a large positive flake close to the second bolt. This came away in my hands and very nearly killed my belayer. The crux section is now harder - possibly 7a.

βeta: Best route in the quarry. Sustained with really nice moves. Why only one star?
