Peter Noebels on Serfs Up 5.12- at the super secret, not so new "show and tell" only area. We would post it up but we don't want Isolation Canyon Manny ruining our cool new sport area by putting up trad routes. Jimbo made me type this Manny. We had a good laugh when we thought it up, hope you do too!
