Description
Mayflower Direct starts just to the left of the 5.9 Mayflower, directly under the hand crack. The 11+ section of this variation is stemmy, smeary, slippery, and hard to protect! With that said it is still very enticing.
Protection
The gear on this lower section is pretty dodgy, I've pulled a piece and while it wasn't a ground fall I've heard of many decking on this route. So, rack up you tiny cams, perhaps ball nuts, and a few small nuts and give it your best shot. Once you pull through this lower section the top should be a breeze, one or two #2's should do you. Good Luck
