Ascent Note
Had to yard through the crux...but figured it out as I did....wish I had had more time to work on it but the old Alpine adage applied....try it twice then pull through....
Fun route... the Eye of Mordor is HARD! And wet...

Ascent Note
Good route although not quite as clean a line as I was hoping. The 5.11a crus is out of character with the rest of the climb which checks in around .9+ or .10-. The Eye of Mordor pitch is the most most sustained and demanding.
