Just one example. Most of the variations in beta amongst my friends and what I've seen come around just before the 3rd draw up to clipping the 4th. Jun 15, 2020

[Hide Comment] I’ve red pointed this route quite a few times and for me this route clocks in between hard 12.d/13a for the wall no matter how you clip the bolts climb it however you feel safest and most importantly just enjoy the route Mar 17, 2024
