    First project since an injury, super stoked! Initially I was put off by all the crimping, but the footwork on the face and variety of interesting moves made me come around. Terrific climb.

    Dexter did all the work putting up the draws and giving me all the beta but I still nearly punted off the crimps at the top

    Last ditch effort after being convinced to give it one more morning try instead of driving home. Gave it all the beans and somehow clipped the chains despite fatigue and slight hangover. An epic 40m 🥵

    An endurance monster, the 13d sequence didn’t feel very hard but all the 5.12 climbing above was a nightmare. I think 13d is fair but I cant remember the last time I climbed a route over 20m and it’s definitely not my style.
