| This is a great route, BD #0.5 and 0.75 entire upper section, not to be missed at Zappa. |

| Very different to TR than to lead. Other than a tricky move into the wide part, everything was very obvious - it's just a question of endurance. Considerably easier if you hang a bit or have a top rope. We used a #5 in the wide spot, but then it's green and purple all the way. |

| Wow, 10a? I assume you top roped it. FWIW, I find this one to be pretty similar in difficulty to 'Fork It'. With 'Fork It', you get the crux over early, and then it is easy. With this one, you get the crux slowly weighing down on you pretty much right to the end. 'Hanging a bit' would indeed make it 'seem' easier.... |
