Looking back at the P2 belay.
Gelsa is really nice. Do it, even if it is embarrassingly below your limit.

Dan jump cruising p3 <br> WARNING BETA INFO <br> I would recommend as you step up and around the overhang there is a good horizontal to place a piece in. If not it can be a little run out to the next good spot. The rock on the left side of the corner is crappy.
