βeta: Really enjoyed this, although probably because I already knew it was a one move wonder before I started. Filled the slot with a cam, but eventually discovered there was a crimp above it within reach, and prefer crimps to layaways anyway. | βeta? | |

βeta: 2 stars?? - it's got 2 moves and the rest is a stroll. It's not worth one. | βeta? | |

βeta: The gear is now worse. I managed 2 placements in the whole route. Something on the side wall below the overhang and then something about 20ft up. Good route though | βeta? | |

βeta: Repeated this route recently (Sept\'01). Where you used to get a solid finger jam on the lip of the overhang you can now only layaway. Seems that the base of crack has suffered some damage from runner placements. I would argue that the crux move is now 4c. | βeta? | |
