[Hide Comment] There is a couple ways to go about this one. None the less, super fun. The climbing up top is not tricky at all and is on jugs for handholds despite what the description says. Jan 13, 2014

Pull down and not out on the topout holds or you are going to have a super bad time. I definitely used an unusual sequence to get through the bottom. Nov 8, 2022

[Hide Comment] Final crimp before the lip was VERY loose. You do not want to break it and fall from there. This was back in early January 2025 so the conditions may have changed Feb 13, 2025
