Did this in light rain, but face was pretty much dry (compared to pretty much everything else this season in LC). A little reachy in some spots (but not a problem if you're tall). Good rests throughout, fun undercling (do it with smear feet for a bit of a power move). (BTW, knock above that undercling to hear the sound of a death flake :))

Kentucky Fried Penguin
Now this one does make sense, it reminds me of Penguins and Kentucky Fried Chicken. So the name does work.

5 bolts
very good moves all the way up. the holds are not as smooth as kfc. my toes are sore from hanging onto those little corners and ledges. fun climb, but the bolts are far spread. I probably won't lead this one soon.
