    How this line should be… A hard deadpoint off a blocky LH crimp and tiny RH sidepull leads into an epic sequence to the midway break before firing the normal crux of Death. Full value, avoids the 5.8 cheater rail out left and climbs right on, if not slightly right of the bolt line. Sonnie said he thought this was 12+, and I think 12c feels right to me. Probably a bit harder than earnest, and honestly way better imo. Pics and vid coming soon!
