βeta: We managed to climb quickly in a party of four, there is some great tat set up at the top of pitch two, we scrambled down to this and abseiled into the gully to walk off. Finished at the ODG for a shandy and some scampi fries, great day out. | βeta? | |

βeta: Climbed as a four, Lee & I introducing our wives to roped climbing. Great route, polished yes in places but can be avoided if wanted. Three good nut placements at top belay. Think me& Lee enjoyed it more than the girls lol | ||

βeta: not a lot of placement options on the \"glassy\" belay at the top. generally should be fine if there isn\'t any other traffic at the top. | βeta? | |

βeta: Lovely day. Last climbed MFB over 20 years ago. New first pitch and first time up the final wall. Both feel harder than the rest of the route. | βeta? | |
