[Hide Comment] This is a worthy route. Good rock and great moves the whole way. The redpoint crux at the end is a heartbreaker! Mar 26, 2015

[Hide Comment] Amazing route! I found the climbing to be pretty sustained with great variation and few rests. My crux definitely wasn't the end though... Jun 1, 2016
