Really fun - couldn't really figure out the crux though, maybe something important broke off? I kind of wandered a bit right and used a very dirty undercling that felt like no one else had ever touched, so that was probably not the best way. Will have to go back and give it some more tries and figure it out. Aug 16, 2021

Stiff crux for a 10, but the grade is probably still accurate. Fun route! Nov 27, 2022
