Description 

Funky flaring wide crack furthest to the right. This is definitely a Lover's testpiece. .10 doesn't get any harder than this at the Leap. This route is not a warm up.....it's a goal.

Cams .5-3"

I feel bad I put my partner on this for her first .10a lead. It seems like every time I put someone on something I haven't done, it's a sandbag!

some strenuous moves 20' up. This has a reputation as one of the harder .10a's at the leap.

Very hard for the grade. I felt like it was more like .10c at least.

It's a known testpiece/sandbag/whatever you want to call it at .10a... don't know about .10c though.

5.10a++? hahaha
