[Hide Comment] Definitely committed if you stay both hands right on the arete but there's good left hands while your still on the arete with your right. Jul 29, 2018

[Hide Comment] Yeah it is a bit of an eliminate. Unfortunate, as it's a very nice climb otherwise. Jul 29, 2018

[Hide Comment] Awesome feature anyway. Tall and proud to do this alone Joel. We also did a nice warmup line on the face with a couple kinda big committing moves (Dobbe broke that big dead branch that was in the way off while climbing it first LOL). Jul 29, 2018

[Hide Comment] Nice! Glad you guys got out there. It's nice to get other opinions on this stuff because I find it's easy to become tunnel visioned during solo sessions. Jul 30, 2018
