★★★ Betty Blue 24

Grade context: AU
Length: 20m
Bolts: 6
Ascents: 640

Rock: Loose flake

The undercling flake above the first bolt has separated from the glue holding it on and is flexing and creaking a lot - not far from blowing off by the sounds of it. Take care as this could seriously injure your belayer if it came down
