Worth placing some pro low down in the narrow cracks because you're actually climbing above a hole that's below the belayer. I was able to place some large hexes, but would have rather had more cams. Jan 14, 2013

Fun free solo! Solid ledges for feet the whole way and the top part is easier than it looks. Nov 13, 2014
