[Hide Comment] Shut down move is at the third bolt. Definitive 11d crux pulling over the roof and standing on the ledge. Very fun technical 10+ leading into 11- right before this. Upper slab is technical and goes around 10-. Don’t get sucked to the left of the bolt up top, stay on route. Scrubbed the slab to make it climbable, but the lichen will come back. Probably a hard route to insight. Jun 8, 2021
