4 out of 5 stars I guess I didn't find the right beta!

Was a very powerful and out of balance move the way I tried it. Fell at the crux.

5 out of 5 stars Fun climb, 1 move wonder

Nice climb, really a 1 move wonder at the crux. For me, it's a dead point to the upper holds off the horizontal. It's not over, however, till it's over. Fun climb.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: JAGWire on 1999-08-13 (View Climbing Log)

2 out of 5 stars One trick move

When I did the on-sight, I did not do the trick move (made it like 11 something) but still managed to get it. On a subsequent lead I found that putting the right foot out right and twisting my body made the reach 10b. Hey, climbs are always as hard as you make them.
