βeta: I found that it was hard to get any bomber gear in due to all the rusty wires. I used a 0.5 cam which was a bit under cammed on 2 of the cams and a size 1 next to it. I think it was ok but not as bomber as I would like. I also found that the moves up to the ledge were fairly thin but it was a hot day. Good route.

βeta: Getting a bit crowded in the crack below the crux with well-wedged nuts. Someone's been at them with a hack-saw leaving room for a 1-Friend only. Good fun tho.

βeta: A great sequence of moves through the crux. A deep one-finger pocket may be of some assistance!
