Description

A bit contrived as it is sort of close to the regular start but fun nonetheless. Sit start with right hand in small shallow sloped pocket and left hand in two finger pocket. Figure out your feet and pull a rad swingy dynamic move over the lip to a sloper. Do a campus move to acquire the good holds. You can top out straight up or follow the v2 arete up to the right. Do whatever makes you happy.

[Hide Comment] The amount of spider webs and the crumbly nature of the holds when I came across them would insinuate that nobody else had climbed this until now but who knows. Not really a big deal either way but if anybody has any information on this please feel free to comment. Feb 1, 2014
