[Hide Comment] Dekker (not Decker) Originally another EZ toprope problem, but I convinced him to let me bolt it. Can you imagine a free toprope on this thing trying to figure-out the opening moves? How far down the slab did he have to climb-up from after I lowered him? So....HD got the FA Mar 18, 2009
