What can be more cruel than bolting a new line but not being able to send it before you leave? The lack of holds at the crux are more cruel; that’s what. This line looks way more doable from the ground than Ursurper to the right, but alas, it is not.
Good slab moves gets you to bolt 2 with the crazy undercling, then some sort of levitation will be required to get from there to bolt 4. Going from there to the anchor is easier, but still no gimme.
Fellow Swiftie Slabmasters united and sent this rig in quick order after I took off for cooler temps. What it lacks in height, it makes up for with excellent rock and good position.
Cruel summer is just to the right of Napoleon (probably a more direct line to the extension Iron Bloodline of Sancho the Strong), and to the left of Ursuper (for now, there could be another line bolted in between)
