[Hide Comment] this route needs a little more love, it's as good and fun as other nearby stuff. the bottom half is imho better than that of chasing the dragon or east side days. the upper part is jug pocket pulling on a slightly overhung arĂȘte. mostly huge holds with a thinner move right at the last bolt. a bit pumpy ;-) Jul 13, 2015
