Way easier than it looks
I went straight up after watching the moves, rather than going right for the obvious jugs. I would lead this one.

First HCR route.
Didn't care much for it during the onsight, but after finding the right beta on two subsequent TR sends I quite liked it. Don't get spooked by all the long-legged spiders. You'll know you are at the right spot if you can find the little copper tab screwed onto the face that reads, "Around The Fur 5.8."
Spoiler: For the OS I went left of the lower bulge and missed the undercling beneath the dueling chickenheads. It was so much nicer going over/right of the bulge and using the undercling--I still can't believe I missed that--it is so obvious.
