βeta: There is gear - it's just extremely small and fiddly (two-handed RP placements!) and you may have to wander around to find it and be prepared to dig out the moss first. Not all of it is reliable. Good nut very low down, but then only a very poor and shallow nut until fairly near the top, though the gear toward the top by the hardest moves seemed reliable. Very bold but easy E2 5b. One or two moves may be 5b, though it depends which way you go. No strong line. I climbed direct from the scoop then moved left at the top to avoid the bigger holds and make the best of the rock. Stepping left and then up from there was the only one or two 5b moves.

βeta: The gear placements are blown out and non viable, therefore I feel a grade of E2 5a is more appropriate, i.e. no gear and no 5b move. Harder than Glass Slipper at Black Crag. Still cracking though!
