[Hide Comment] Be careful of that triangular, right hand gaston. I felt and heard it flex quite a bit. There are other potentially loose holds on the rest of the boulder. Feb 26, 2017

[Hide Comment] I seem to remember that hold "clicking" way back when. Hopefully it doesn't break.... Feb 27, 2017

[Hide Comment] The gaston felt and sounded solid enough today. I think I only heard it "click" once out of a handful of attempts. Use it as carefully as you can, obviously. Great problem! Apr 14, 2022
