Run Out On Microflakes With Highly Questionable Anchor (view)

Starting up F.A. of Pitch 3 of Wet Burqa Contest. 200+ feet off the deck. The rock was pretty firm, but the little microflakes (you can see one in the lower RHS of the image) did break off occasionally. The highly questionable anchor was behind the detached block where Rob is belaying (the only place for it). I was wigged. Rating in this area was probably a 5.8, but it felt 5.11 scary. Especially because I had no idea what was up ahead, or if there was any pro to be had. Below me I think I had one size 1 microcamalot in. Sort of. Sketch.
