[Hide Comment] Fun climbing the whole way! lots of face holds allow for good feet the whole way on in cuts. Or you can jam the whole way and turn it into a super fun OW! Gear is solid. Recommend a BD 3, 4, 5, and a #2 big bro. Could get away without the 5. Mar 12, 2013

[Hide Comment] Damn near splitter. Great OW to try, face holds are there for the less willing. Thinner crack to left is worth a go, but the rock on it is decent at best. Nov 11, 2019
