Onsight ascent by:
awesome
Thought this was a blast -- the lower boulder section is pretty chill with a touch of offwidth technique. The crux moves around the bolt were definitely no gimme, but protection-wise I thought it was fine.

Top Rope ascent by:
bailed
Bailed from the lead, not wanting to risk a fall onto the boulder from the moves getting into the crack. On TR, I discovered that they weren't bad after all, but better to bail than to be broken. Cruised on TR.
Did the start statically each time with a low right foot on the face, then a high step to the big slopey foot.

Scratched and clawed, this climb was hard. Need to try again when stronger.
