Not as easy as I thought it would be
The guidebook had this as an 8, but it seemed a little stiffer to me. Maybe I just need better balance, either way it's fun.

Stiff Start
Technical, balancing climb. Thought it was closer to a 9+ or 10. Fantastic friction, great feet, and make sure you find the second left facing flake.

Swimming with Karp
5.8?? The most technical 5.8 i've ever climbed. At the New it would go at 10a.
