[Hide Comment] I yanked one of two crimps off the slab while pulling into a stance under the roof. There's another hold out left that may be utilized instead without moving far off the bolt line. Doesn't change the grade. May 11, 2022

[Hide Comment] I think the hardest moves were in fact getting up to the stance below the roof, not actually pulling the roof (which was, however, pretty physical).

Hard one to grade cause it's 5.9/10- climbing to a single hard move, then juggy roof. May 29, 2022
