Updated the route 21 In Search Of the Lost Chord.
Updated beta description.

Start: In the first big corner just to the right of the low overhang to the right of 'Maiden's Prayer'.

  1. [21] 40m
    Pull into the undercut corner and then climb up into the flared recess above. Move out to the right using a horizontal crack, then move up to an excellent horizontal crack.

Continue traversing until able to move up to a higher level and then further to the left onto the lip. Move up and around to belay on the left-hand side of a large, detached column.
  2. [13] 46m
    This pitch can be split. Traverse to the left to a black undercut face and climb it on small incut holds, after which it is possible to move easily to the left under an overhang. Continue to the left, moving slightly down at one point, until just before an obvious watercourse is reached. Climb out and up to the right to a bottomless crack/chimney. Climb the crack on huge 'jugs' to a large ledge.
