[Hide Comment] Burly bouldery start on jugs leads to step ups on small but good feet, into big hands. Crux comes at about 3/4, moving off a horizontal rail, to higher big hand holds. For me, moving through the crux to clipping the bolts out left in an uncomfortable drop knee did not offer much of a reprieve until it was over!

Great job on this route.
Thank you, developers, for all the work put in developing this route, the approaches, and this amazing area.
This was an exhilarating lead for the full pitch.
Well bolted with rings to lower off of at the top. Jun 17, 2024
