βeta: A good route; or a great route with Bobby's Helmet variation on p.4. Climbing is VS 4c, HVS 4c on BH variation pitch. However, route-finding is not always straightforward and it's easy to end up on more challenging ground. P.2 it's easy to accidentally end up on 4a but bold slabs above the easier and correct 3a ramp line... Felt a bit like a quartzite and cactus-strewn Lliwedd... White Arete was quite fun, though a little overhyped by Broadbent. Alford and Donnithorne description was pretty useless... "start roughly here and use your nose" was about the sum of it. Asseldrar coire is a beautiful place to be and we were welcomed by one of the villagers on our approach.

βeta: A good mountain style route which is good for VS. A bit rambly and not the strongest line, especially towards the top where it is easy to wander off route though the ground covered can always sit within VS. There is a large ring bolt to the right of the slab towards pitch 4/5 which prompted some discussion later on back at Ksar Rock.
