    LET'S GOO!! Handful of sessions on it all season, finally put this to rest today. Initially looking at the line it seemed pretty clear the huge shelf out right was out especially given the 7B grade and topo on 27Crags.. However going out right could end up being the much better line, time will tell I suppose.. In either case this more 'eliminate' line is definitely worth trying! Feels V7/8 range this way for sure tho..

    Got on this rig when the temps went way higher than anticipated. 32 degrees. I have to say that little pit was a saviour that day. Edit* I read the 27 crags description that indicates right jug=out and thought, “really an eliminate by itself with no other lines nearby, that seems silly”. I then climbed the natural line using the large jug out right. Perhaps it climbs better without the jug, but I enjoyed natural line well enough. If I end up back there with a friend who wants to try it maybe I will try the eliminate version. I thought this climb was stellar and deserves more attention. I think we used 3 pads although a mindful climber could get by with one, a pad topper and an attentive spotter.
