Barbara at the top. Photo taken back from wall about 12 feet, to show most of the climb. Rams horns hang just over the top edge.

A tricky pull over the wall and an almost blank finish makes this climb a puzzle waiting to be figured out. Another great climb!

[Hide Comment] The first time I climbed this is felt super hard at the mini roof. I went back again and this time the roof just went easily without weird beta. Jun 24, 2018
