[Hide Comment] Worth doing. If you go straight up through the crux (RH Gaston and a high left foot/heel, crimping on footholds instead of sneaking out left), it can feel more like 12a. Jul 13, 2020

[Hide Comment] An awesome route and great warm-up for some of the harder routes in the area. It felt more like 11-. Aug 9, 2020
