Sweet crack
Assuming this is the awesome crack to the left of refried brains with a "punchy" crucx right at the beginning and smooth sailing there after. It was a great climb I defiantly found the crux right at the beginning pulling over that first section my fingers were a wee bit small actually and I was having difficulty finding the right finger betta to lock in I think i might have done some layback action. (2 hags/falls but good well protected lead!)

Awesome route!
A 60m line works for this stout little line- trips in fingers makes for a happy leader!

Difficult (tight) fingers, polished feet for starters !
I was way off route, thinking this was some 5.7 start, and I'm a 5.9 lead. This tight finger crack ate 2 of my 1/2-inch cams, as the triggers were buried, and they were overcammed (mea culpa) 12 ft up. I spent an hr. trying to get them out. It is a VERY slippery start, not much of anything for your feet, kinda smooth and polished rock. Long arms help to get up to the final reach to get 20 ft. off the deck. I hangdogged some gear to get up it. Not best of show for me ...
