Full Metal Jacket
Jul 8, 2021 · Lead / Fell/Hung. With Steph. A lot of cleaning and ascents could make the first two pitches a 2-3 star climb, but unfortunately in this location it will never get there. I felt pitch two to be a fairly unsafe lead and pitch three is so crumbly as to be unsafe, too. No anchors were present so we left three. A real disappointment and far from the three guidebook stars it's given. Ask me how I really feel before you get on it.
