    To say it was a wild experience is an understatement. Alex and I went 15.5hrs car to car through horrific rock quality, constant rock missles, nasty runouts, stuck ropes and dropped gear. We simuled the first half, and switched to pitching out for the wandery crux pitches, before simuling to the summit again. Objectively an elusive and stunning line in an incredible position high above town that I will be forever psyched to have snagged an ascent of. However, I feel that I cant recommend this to anyone, as the risks likely outweigh the reward of climbing this monster in its current state (for most). I hope it sees love and improvement in the future, as this deserves to be a Canmore classic for those strong and bold enough to take it on. Vamos!
