βeta: Clear route with many opportunities for protection. Great to catch golden hour on a spring ascent

βeta: Lovely climb! Access from above is to be taken slow but didn't rope up, ideally would be to approach from the beach at low tide. A lot of bird poo on the face of Pitch 4, We avoided by using the exposed side of the arete.
