βeta: If it was lead on gear around VS 4c to HVS 5a so defintately not harder than 5+!!!! A nice climb, this area of the cuttings is much better than the climbs as you first walk in. | βeta? | |

βeta: not polished at all! I'd say it was quite technical but about the right grade (slightly high in the grade perhaps..) | βeta? | |
