VERY height dependent crux! Felt 11+ to me, but I still didn't get it... (I'm 5'9") Another friend (also short) got it and said it felt 11+/12-. Kirk makes it look easy but he's 6'2"....

I am 6'2" and still had trouble. Wear pants for this one, as it is a knee scratcher.

Tough route if you are shorter (I'm 5'8"). I led the other 11 here clean, but no chance on this one even on toprope.

Lead this one today in that wicked wind. First try, got to the crux and was perplexed. The feet are horrible. I personally thought this wasn't very height dependent after I figured it out. Sure a tall person will have an easier time, but I'm 5'6" and I 'sent it on my second attempt. You have to get creative with your feet. Don't get me wrong though, the move to start the crux is hard as hell. If anyone wants my beta give a shout and I'd be happy to post it.
