[Hide Comment] This route is fantastic! The rock is unique and of better quality than it appears from the ground. Don't read on if you don't want beta.






A right kneepad is extraordinarily helpful for the crux and given how much rubber is on those sections I'd venture to guess many before me have repeated it that same way.

I tightened all but the first hanger on this thing but unfortunately couldn't get the first one done with doing so as I was cleaning it. Please bring a wrench and tighten it up if you're the next person out trying it! Also 10 bolts but I used a super long (1.5 ft I believe) sling on the 5th draw to make it easier to clip from the jug/logical clipping position and the falls were also significantly safer this way, putting me below the roof but nowhere close to the ground.

[Hide Comment] A hold broke in the crux and made it substantially easier. Prob 12D now. Feb 28, 2022
