βeta: Tricky to say, but I'd go for HVS as it's fairly sustained compared to Tody's and Chequers Buttress | βeta? | |

βeta: A commiting layback to start leads to a romp on good jams. no harder than hawks nest crack. I got a friend 4 in the top of the starting offwidth by standing on tip toes. | βeta? | |

βeta: Why has this route gone up to HVS 5a. Learn to jam, it's standard VS. If you look back enough guidebooks you'll see that it used to be given 4b! | βeta? | |
