Description
Planet Claire features challenging blunt arete squeezing and pressing to start out of the catsclaw on standard issue Josh oatmeal, before moving up and left spiral staircase style following a line of good holds on increasingly better rock to the top of the pinnacle.
This route featured surprisingly fun moves, and would be better but for lack of traffic which has the lower half of the route in pretty gritty shape.
