  Jimmy Blackhall:   From the flake jug (before crux) I go left out to gaston in line with flake jug, right hand to 1 pad good crimp next to jug, left foot, right foot, lock off hard on right crimp and reach all the way to 2 finger undercling. High right foot and cross right hand to good jug on the flake above.

  Neil Abe:   Key move off 2 crimps to a left handed Gaston before swooping in with a right hand on the side pull.

  At least I lost my finger pad at the crux and not before it. Great fun on the ledge with J.

  Sprayed my beta to Erica for her stylish flash then changed my beta below the anchor. Went left after last clip. Amazing climbing. 2nd go.

  If this route was more accessible, it would be the favorite for many. The bottom part is definitely more fun in my opinion. After the rest it is just a grind. Found Twisting my body around for the rest to be most optimal (Thanks Blaze).

  First ever 12a flash!!! A couple months ago 12a flash felt way out of my league but here we are!! Props to Tomo for the beta and for his sick send!!! Definitely worth the extra effort to get to the ledge!!

  Must've used hard beta because it didn't feel soft! Somehow unclipped a draw and narrowly avoided a tree enema.

  2nd try after just blowing the crux sequence. Would choose a different approach pitch Then the book recommends, but fun belay stance

  Good climb. Many places require a bit route finding, kind of disrupt the flow when I wasn't sure where to go.

  Great climb however my honest feelings were it is more than soft for the grade (esp compared to Naked Teenage Girls 12a)

  Lived up to its reputation as a mega classic. I don't think there was one bad piece of movement, in the long string of perfect technical climbing on bomber limestone.

  Ultra Classic! Worth the work to get up there. If I had not tried it a couple years ago it would have been an onsight. But whatever it doesn't matter
