βeta: Easiest 6a move in the world, followed by some very airy slab climbing. As soon as you've got hands to what might seem the final ledge, traverse right and mantel into the break to start the upper slab. I soloed, but with gear it gets a nice 1* E1. The right-hand flake at the bottom is in, according to BMC guide, but without would be an interesting one to try once the friction's improved...

βeta: This is also a rather nice boulder problem as you can just walk off after the hard bit. Depends if you like VS solo above a hard landing (though only beacause I was too lazy to carry gear)
