[Hide Comment] Props to Jeremy and Mike for this fine addition. An awesome pinch/sidepull-to-crimp sequence leads to an interesting slab-tech move and airy rest before a steep, sustained finish on that oh-so-good gray stone. Longer than the nearby lines. May 31, 2009

[Hide Comment] Great addition to Ruckman! The crux may be a bit harder if under 5' 8". Jun 18, 2009
