| I found the crux (upper finger crack) really tough to lead through. It takes 0.75 BD cams well, but stopping to place them saps all your strength. The crack leans slightly to the left, and is slightly rounded over. So it's hard to get good finger locks, and hard to lay back. I guess you need to suck it up and blast through this section! I thought the lower section a bit of a mixed bag, nothing special. |
