βeta: There's something off with the line and descriptions in the BMC guide and Rockfax... they both imply you move direct up the featureless wall between the corner and the start of Cathy's Clown - this can't be right. I looked at a couple of old guides and they imply that what is shown in the newer guides as the start for Cathy's Clown up the obvious crack system is really the start for Liquid Courage and Cathy's Clown goes direct up the thinner crack further left and more in line with the route. This makes a lot more sense as the non line in the new guides isn't E1.

βeta: No 5c moves, hard E1 (if you take all the rests and use your loaf) or easy E2. Lovely route.

βeta: Agree with the low grade E2 5B comments. It is possible to rest after all the hard moves and the protection is bombproof.

βeta: The E3 6a variation - moving left at half height and fiishing direct (right of Cathy's..)- is worth a mention. A bit dirty at present, but quality climbing.
