[Hide Comment] Surprised no comments on this one yet. Maybe it gets overshadowed by its neighbors.

Loved this route. Seemed to have a bit of everything. Flake traverse into hand size widening quickly into desperate offwidth.

I didnt use anything bigger than a #3 but could have used some larger pieces for the top. Small gear for the bottom.

Enjoy! Oct 26, 2015
