Description Suggest change

Crimps off the ground to pinches, then the business, two bad finger locks, and dead point to a jug, then continue up the easy ground of Keep it Tight But Don't Give Me AIDS'(5.6) anchors.

Here's the reference to the history behind the route name: "MOSCOW -- President Yuri Andropov, described as suffering from a cold, was absent Monday from the lineup of Politburo members reviewing the traditional Red Square military parade from atop Lenin's Tomb." That was from a news clipping in 1983, the year before this route was named. It was actually kidney failure that the "cold" was referring to, and the following year Andropov dies.
