A friend of mine who's shorter than you did the second ascent of this route shortly after I first put it up and didn't seem to have the reach dependency issues. Maybe you overlooked a few holds? That rock can be be tough to read. Regarding ledge potential, I worked hard to get all the bolts in just the right spots, and felt pretty confident that given an attentive belayer this wasn't an issue. Sorry if you were a little gripped, but the climbing is continuous, and the clipping holds aren't that great, so anytime you get that combination there's simply no way to get around the tough clips.
cheers, rico |
