Quite shocked today at how hard Beth's Traverse is. Can't believe that used to get 7B+, what a sandbag!
I fell off that jump move on JJF about 5 times totally boxed and haven’t been back, also did the same on Holeshot, may point to a weakness in my climbing… Long overdue a rematch, thanks for the reminder!
If I remember correctly Ian didn't grade it, I tried it and couldn't climb it so I gave it V6 (6c). I do remember that Ian was climbing well at the time.

Has anyone tried/done Ians Arete there, the 7A? I thought that was absolutely nails as well. Felt closer to Beths!
For comparison, Layby Arete took me two goes.
