I know the crux is where it turns vertical, and yet I felt the crux was the start. Mainly because you launch straight into slightly slippery, pumpy liebacking with no rests for at least 20-30 feet. The crux higher up feels less strenuous because it's a couple moves (depending on height) and then you are at a great rest.

Takes mainly .4, .5, .75 and #2 Camalots and I used a couple large nuts.
