[Hide Comment] Congrats on the send. I've been cleaning / projecting that climb since this summer. I have all the parts but never got lucky enough to link. My question is did you really climb through that hole? I pulled up to it several times but did quite think I could safely fit. Mar 4, 2012

[Hide Comment] Great route on above average rock for the area. The stand is ~v4- and worth doing on its own!

Also, I couldn't fit through the hole. I think trying to struggle through it actually detracts from the route, but to each their own. Oct 15, 2016
