[Hide Comment] In order I used one #4, a #1, and then another #1, a #.75, a #.4, a #.3, a #.75, and then another optional #.4 and then bolted anchors. The route then tops out and then you can take a victory . whip or down climb to rapel off. The route starts with an easy little v2 boulder then into a 5.9 vertical corner crack. You get to a good rest then the wall kicks back into like a 25 degree overhang or more. It’s finger jamming and intricate sequence up through the crux. At the top the crack splits into two with a large dead point into compression. Very fun Oct 31, 2023
