βeta: Pair of small speckled brown birds with white chest nesting in the layback flake crack (just below the good wire)- best not to climb till the chicks have fledged (late June?)

βeta: HVS 5b in Bancroft's Recent Developments 1977, when I soloed it ground up - no mat. Interesting that it would now be impossible to vote for either grade as they are off the bottom of the scale.
