βeta: A couple of strong pulls lead to good gear under the overlap, a strenous move to inobvious holds takes you onto the middle of the slab and no more gear until the top! This would be HVS up the road at Stanage. Needs a very cool head.

βeta: Excellant route but not a great choice when you can't feel your fingers after 30 seconds.
