Description
A diminutive-looking line that can (and will, in my case) slap you in the face. The second you pull on you might think, oh, this is harder than I thought. Biting finger locks and powerful laybacks get you up to a good hold where you can clip a bolt and stand up and rest at a stance. One more bolt protects the final steep moves, which arent a gimme.
Probably best to not skimp on the gear. Youre never that far off the ground.
