βeta: Quite the matched crimp at the start of the traverse. Very committing, results may vary, some then drop low and can stretch for holds, alternatively continue up and become a crack gremlin with some hand jams you can't see because the overhang will be pushing your head down. There's a 'comfortable' rest for squatting overhang gremlins like me.

βeta: the rest is good and rock fax's description well confused me!!! the moves out are reachy (apparently -i was ok but my second couldn't make the move). a quality route that ends very fast.

βeta: A lovely route, over too quickly, perfectly protectable. The 'awkward thin crack' the guidebook refers to isn't awkward at all - if you sort your feet out, it produces a lovely move.

βeta: A Joe Brown route for those who don't normally like them. Watch the rope drag.
