Description Suggest change

This is only the stand start to the once deemed 'impossible' 50 degree wall. Jim Merli's "L' Etoilie du Nord" (Amateur SDS) is Minnesota's (and probably the Midwest's) hardest problem. The stand begins in the middle of the rail and is only a few moves long...hard moves and sharp.
