[Hide Comment] Nice for cold windy day. South facing. We were in the sun all day. The 5.4 is reachy for short people. The 5.6 is Stella at its grade. Gear is plenty. The 5.7, 5.8 are very sandbag and not lead-able due to there is no crack. There are only indentations that camouflage as cracks. Nov 18, 2024
