Description

This route was surprisingly really good quality. It has some nice thin crack moves and some really good locks. It is short but on the whole time. 

It's quite thin and the lead would be a good one. I just TR after summer lovin as it looked pretty on and tricky pro. 

If leading be strong with your placements and don't skip any as it seemed to me there wasn't too many opportunities for good gear.

Location

This is the face/thin crack system to the left of Summer Lovin.

Protection

Small cams/nuts. I didn't lead it so can't say for sure. Use the same Bolted anchor/chains as Summer Lovin
