Description
Start up easy ground (easier than unpaid), to a nice stance below the steepening headwall. A few bolts of mid 5.12 with big moves and some shouldery work take you to the crux.
The crux crimp broke on 6/19/20 and Micah re-FA'd the route a few weeks later. Now the prevailing beta is a huge move to a flat edge, a desperate piano match, and an outro that stays physical on thin holds for another 2-3 bolts. In isolation, the crux is harder. This is on a route that already posed significant endurance demands--subsequently upgraded a letter. The crux may be less fun now, esp. for non-pianists.
