Description

The extension to Iced Earth. Sean Leary's original vision was an extension to Something For Nothing. He tried a few times to lead this mega-pitch from the ground, but rope drag made doing the final moves nearly impossible. So Sean bolted the extension to Iced Earth to the same finishing moves. Sean passed away B4 he sent. I'm happy that the FA went to such a kind person. I'm sure Stanley would be as well.

Location

Climb Iced Earth, and continue for a few more bolts.
