Harder than It Looked – 5.11d
Description:
Andy Genereux July 2018
Several cruxy bits lower down lead to a challenging and continuous upper section that works up the left side of a big flake (more solid than it looks) then shifts leftward onto some delicate movement before finishing up on a sustained series of thin face moves. Lots of 11+ techy climbing before you get to a fine belay ledge. Sustained overall with several funky problems presenting a real cerebral challenge working through this longer technical mind-field on the upper half.

2025-08-05Maybe it's harder than it looks but it's easier than it's graded in the guidebook. Although I'd love to think I just onsighted 12a

2025-04-15Another interesting climb with cooool moves. Grades are subjective of course, & this has a few hard moves but felt that change of plan (11d to the left) and movie moose (11d 2nd to the left) were more sustained & overall harder. HTIL is nowhere close to Moosin’ Around (11d 4th route to the left) which is graded 11d but I think 12a is probably about right
