βeta: The "loose block" has been wobbling since I first climbed this route in 1970! Since then tens of thousands have used it, it's not going anywhere and certainly doesn't need crowbarring off.

βeta: I didn't think much of this, even though I normally like awkward routes. It's a bit polished which may have put me off, although it's not that bad that you slip off any of the holds.

βeta: I liked it too. Not sure about the VDiff comments, I felt it was spot on Sev 4b and deserved a star or two to boot.

βeta: This is a very good top end severe. Peakies might be in for a surprise - it will feel like VS 4b to them !
