4 out of 5 stars Good stuff

Fun climb...ratings in Railay/Tonsai are all over the place...this is easier than rated. Some tube action like Groove Tube but not as much. Use some right heel hooks on the left edge of Groove Tube around the crux (~3 bolts up).

3 out of 5 stars only a couple of moves

Rating seems a bit high. There were only a couple of moves required on some overhanging tufa and up the one next to it. The line at times seemed to go a bit right when the bolts stayed left of the main features.

3 out of 5 stars Boobtube

I think i know why this climb is called Boobtube. I was asking myself when I got the second crux, "Why do I climb" and came to find "I'd much rather be watching tv. But no I'm on a rock struggling my way up it, why?"
