βeta: Personally, I found the move over the roof at the top fairly hard - certainly harder than 4b. I am quite short though so it was more than just a long reach for the top for me. Loads of gear though.

βeta: Quite enjoyed this, and would even give it a star. There's only really one move of note, but it's a reasonably technical one.
