[Hide Comment] I thought it was quite fun but as Susan says above I'm not sure why *this* route is the 6a+. All the 6a's next to each other here felt pretty similar, and the ones left of this definitely feel harder since they have to go through a small overhang.

Either way, this was fun, long, and pretty sustained. I quite enjoyed it. Oct 10, 2022
