βeta: Pulled off at least 8 rocks on the lower section. Some pretty big. Midway jug before the tree stump moved and had a pretty big crack through it. Big block at the top also sounded very hollow. Nothing I pulled off seemed important. Still climbable. Just felt like abit of a choss fest. | βeta? | |
