Description 

I won't go into the BS i went thru before leading this thing but I will say that it was HARD for me at the grade and took me about a month & a half to get the Brass Balls to lead it.

Did it on top rope. But prepare for a pump. Eat a lot jamming too.

The place on the photo at the top of the climb is not the main crux, but a tough pump too.

Leo gave me credit for the FA in his guide but I remember the first time it was TR better. Scott Stewart was showing Steve Wunsch around. Steve went up for it with a big lunge. Scott who had a sore finger had to protect the DL climbing reputation so he went up. He repeated the lunge but his feet came off the wall. He swung out but was still hanging on. With the overhang he had one chance to stick it when he swung back in --- and he did. It took us a little while to get rid of the lunge so I don't think anyone else repeated it that day.
