βeta: i've not climbed providence (though no doubt i will), but am surprised that this hasn't always been the "main" line: get to the crack and then climb it!

βeta: It's worth the inclusion if only to stop this sort of confusion. I agree with CC that it's odd that people climb an unrecorded route and not bother writing it up. It's a pleasant enough route with varied climbing.

βeta: Pleasant enough, still feel Providence is the better line on the slab, but this is a more logical start. I suppose both are a bit contrived really.
