    Stoked! Another dream route of mine. I've been wanting to climb this since I first saw it in 2008. A real mental battle for me to get over the length. A big thanks to Andrea for the patient belays and for being such an awesome climbing partner on this whole trip and for just generally being awesome. Also thanks to the friendly locals with the good beta. As for the grade, shit, this is just one of those routes. It's on the cusp, it could be either. It's harder the most (all?) the 8a+'s I've done but definitely at the very bottom end of 8b. The topo says 8a+ now though so guess that's the final word. Regardless of the grade an amazing route, surely one of the best I've ever climbed. 7 tries.

    Great personal achievement because this route has many moves that I had to really jump for. Great line though, besides the chipping.. very exposed and nice rock.
