βeta: Where is the long reach on this route? I am 5'8" and very easily reached from the left undercut to the flake with my right hand. Felt like E1 5B.

βeta: Lovely reach, when you finally get your feet high enough to hit the flake with all four fingers it all falls into place. Bomber gear.

βeta: This was first E2, although not desperate the reaches were quite long. The traverse at the end wasn't hard - but it feels tricky on tiring arms. Overall a really good route, bomber gear, good holds and ncie moves
