βeta: The block with a key crux right foothold moves, it's massive and will do some serious damage when it comes out. Seems keyed in but take care. | βeta? | |

βeta: Bolting a crack like this makes no sense whatsoever, trad and sport can happily coexist. | βeta? | |

βeta: Loose hold right at the top I suspect used often to make the last moves. It is marked with an X. Move can be done without it but a bit harder. | ||

βeta: Amazing climb, favourite in the crag so far! Loved the variety of moves, got my first hand jam into a outdoor climb with the roof topping it off, 3star from me! Sidenote was quite wet at the roof had to avoid certain holds! | βeta? | |
