FA: julieg - 2021-08-24

Description:

Start just down from the corner, clip the first bolt and fight through several cruxes on fantastic glassy Gneiss to a cool pocket over the last ledge and the anchor. A fingery test-piece, short but sustained and in your face.

12m, 5 bolts

Took a few goes, quite sequential and fingery

I tried this one a couple of years ago but gave up out of pure frustration from not being able to solve the crux. Came back this year to have another look. Same frustration at first but finally solved it. Sent to next day out. It's quite a good route. It looks like it should be much easier that it is. It can take some time to crack it without betta.
