[Hide Comment] Finishing up via good edges to the slab is tempting but it's not V6. The guidebook has mention of it as "Pigeon" with a "V?", I'd say around V3.

For full credit I think you'd wanna traverse low, using only the bottom row of holds. Head left, match the sloper, and hit the high block's lip, then top out.

It's contrived, but I promise it's fun and challenging this way. To explain the contrivance, I've seen very old video/image of this route, and almost the whole thing used to be draped in moss and foliage, so it covered most of the nice slab holds. That might also explain why there's a V? For Pigeon. Jul 1, 2022
