βeta: Some of the rock low down is more fragile than it seems: I broke the top off the obvious crimp at 2m just by standing on it (still usable) and another piece also fell away. That makes me even more cautious about the thin lh flakes. As for grade, it's not 5b. 5a start, 4a from the break. No gear for the 5a moves, though... so probably E1 5a is more reflective of the climbing.
