[Hide Comment] footholds and handholds broke off countless times. One big flake came right off and nearly smacked me in the face, another was extremely close to coming off before I was able to find something else to grab onto. Getting annoyed with this climb, I climbed the rope to clean my gear and rappel down to have the rope run out for the last metre because the strands weren't dead centre on the anchors. I had to rock off a tree and time the rappel to drop the last bit near higher ground. Pulled the rope through to have a big rock nearly hit me in the head. Aside from all these issues, if you fall on this climb, good luck getting back on the wall, the rope will hold you away too far due to the overhang. You are also rappelling into trees by the way. This route needs cleaning before it is safe. Aug 3, 2020
