I was lucky enough to get the second ascent on this killer bouldery/stemming fest after Marcos Nunez put it up last year and ohhh shiiii ...it's sweeeeet. A wild start( harder if your short like myself,5'7) v3First you gotta get on the sucker.Watch the water and don't slip, that could kinda suck balls. Lean out onto wall and lunge for first hold, JUG, clip first bolt. Then the fingery and boulder prob starts( crux) traverse to corner and get your rests. Oh and chalk your feet. heheThis climb is worth the drive aloneWhen Swash was put up I was asked what I thought the grade was and I said 10d / 11a. On subsequent trips with equalclimbing ability partners, the grade is solid 11a but I hesitate at the 11b grade. Enjoy!!whipp
