Description:
A great route, one of the best at the grade. Don't cheat the first crux (from bolt 1 to bolt 2) by traversing 8 feet right to climb the trad climb.

Suitors should be able to pull on some crimps and recover between spans of 5.11 climbing. So good.

nice Fall send
Took a beta burn, then a linking burn. Sent third go. Then technical difficulties felt like the least of my worries given the nice conditions. It was overall climbing fitness/pump management.

!
Thin, powerful start. The movement through the podded seam is perfect. Surprise RP on the second go.
