βeta: Be careful with the tree at the start; the 'grabable' branch is broken and hanging on by a thread. Didn't notice until I'd slung it and climbed past it. There is also A LOT of big wobbly blocks at the top. Be very careful what you pull on. The block mentioned in the comments below has clearly gone but the ones below where it was could prove equally fatal. | βeta? | |

βeta: LOOSE BLOCK Big block at top has moved and is no longer held in by mud. Now wedged/perched across finishing groove and still wobbling. We tried to trundle it but couldn't - too heavy and will need tools. Probably securer than before but still very dangerous. | βeta? | |

βeta: Very Loose (and large) block at the top of the route, needs gardening really as it'll only take one nudge. Potential to kill anyone on the ground. | βeta? | |

βeta: A great route, I don't know whether I was happy or sad that the crack was over so quickly! Hardest moves are getting into the crack and leaving it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Much harder than BRM, and although well protected it was still hard to commit to the moves. | βeta? | |
