[Hide Comment] No tape needed, just long pants and long sleeve shirt. 4/5 pads needed or 2 if you have an active spotter shuffling pads. Amazing route , must try. Oct 19, 2017

[Hide Comment] Stellar problem. I've never grunted so much in my life. Totally gassed after sending. Slept well that night. One of my favorite boulder problems around. Give it a rip Oct 17, 2020
