βeta: Incredibly polished, hard start shared with the gully, but the chimney is good and grippy | βeta? | |

βeta: A pain to lead, yet some protection is required as it's Thrutch City for the last 5 metres. A peculiar route. The inital slabby start was green, but easy. | βeta? | |

βeta: Awesome route, so much fun! Especially if you can get fully immersed in the crack, it was slightly narrower than the length of my feet, so managed to employ some fun offwidth techniques such as chicken wings and heel-toes. I should imagine that from the outside it looked something like this, but with the addition of a half-grimace, half-smile - http://home.primus.ca/~dooley/climbing/offwidths/episode6.html. One to solo, not lead! | βeta? | |
