[Hide Comment] A much better route than the picture makes it look. As good, if not better than, Sweat, although much harder in my opinion. Eats pro. Jul 27, 2018
[Hide Comment] Could easily use 3 #3 cams (rack them on the left of harness) - Large boulder at top to sling or building anchor with #1 #2 and #3 cams set anchor low to avoid rope drag - crux is probably coming off the bomber right hand undercling and working your body into the crack - fair for the grade Jan 22, 2019
[Hide Comment] Surprisingly amazing hand crack! Used BD #1-#3. For the anchors, used 2 #1's and 1 #3. Walked off the back. Nov 7, 2021
