Description

Slightly overhanging with a few good tool locks to start off with. Delicate edging and front-point smearing to some thiner hooking towards the top.

I had to back off because I wasn't sure how secure the hooks were, and I didn't want to risk my tool blowing from that height. I may try again before the snow melts.

The final move feels like its probably M5-6ish (comparable to a 5.9 or 5.10 crux move)

It might make a great summer boulder problem as well, though with rock shoes, its probably only V1.
