βeta: Feels like Froggatt, looks like Froggatt, climbs like The Roaches. Get your jams in the crack for the full ride. Part of the Peak 170 Gritstone Circuit, 020, www.future-primitive.co.uk.

βeta: And has some of the best big-hex placements going - superb!! I found myself using a lot of the hidden holds in the crack rather than jams though. Must be my small hands!!
