βeta: Comments re the lichen are incorrect, possibly an excuse to avoid the bold moves? The lichen in the area does not obscure any of the holds or intrude onto the route. It may appear to when viewed from directly below but viewed from the side the holds are all clean. The flakes are very creaky nowadays.
