Fell twice on the first move, that thing is hard! After that it eases up but is still very difficult. Definitely 11+. Great climb though.

I don't know exactly when I climbed this, but I think it is my most difficult sport redpoint to date.

Ascent Note
Tough moves to begin the climb, but talk about thin friction the rest of the way!!!
