βeta: Having checked some old guidebooks, I suspect the line claimed went up the wall avoiding the ledges on the arete which would make it E3. This would be a pretty pointless eliminate though especially since the line using the ledges on the arete gives good climbing and doesn't feel too artificial either. Regrading it now to E1 5b. | βeta? | |
