Description:

This thing is pretty sustained. Less than vertical almost the whole way. You can lead the 5.7 all the way to the right of the wall and set up a TR on this climb. A 60m rope just barely gets to the ground for a TR or Rappel from these anchors.

5 out of 5 stars done

Back for the RP on attempt two. I noticed I tend to miss the key right hand crimp at the upper crux when leading versus TRing. There is a sorta decent red C4 you can place in a pod up around there but it may be more trouble than it's worth. It's been fun climbing it on TR over the years as I come down from other routes and it was satisfying adding the RP lead experience. Very nice route that takes gear well but would be a challenging onsight effort.

lead after tr'ing and figuring out gear. While the climbing is pretty casual figuring out the gear onsight would be pretty difficult. Slung one chicken head over the last 50 feet or so. Fun stuff.

4 out of 5 stars head game grade?

Climbing was 10b, gear was less than ideal, especially for a "5star" so it did feel harder on the onsight. Height and quality of rock does make this pretty good, for moores.

I've worked this on TR and memorized the gear, and sent it today. It felt smooth and never felt like I was going to fall. A proud send for me.
