Vulcan: A Hostile Environment
Overhanging climb on small edges to a small finger crack above, with smaller edges for footholds, accompanied by every variety of crawling arachnid and insect launching themselves into eyes, ears, & nose makes this "5.6" with plenty of 5.8 moves upon it, the hardest "6" in the area. Make sure you protect from above before invading Vulcan territory.
