Description

The first 30 or so feet of this climb is what it's all about. Steep reachy side pulls lead up and left to a cool knob. The crux requires some tricky foot intensive beta with the knob while reaching way out right to a big rail, suck it in hold the swing and mantle it out. Try to catch a breath and climb the second half, good thing it's probably easy 10 from here.

Location

Starts just left of Two Shaved Heads/Cell Block D
