What a fantastic climb, deservingly classic. It felt hard for the grade until I found all of the good kneebars then it felt..... slightly less hard

Amazing power endurance climbing. Seemed to take me forever to work out all the beta to be able to climb efficiently and finish it off.

2nd go. So close to the on-sight! Such a quality line and great intro to the wall. Skin hurt with my seventh day of climbing.

A proper battle! Was really tired but gave it one last try, glad I did. Mega 6 part send train, I believe everyone at the crag sent their project!

Third go today. Tried this climb once 2 years ago and I never got back to it till this year. Fell pulling the last roof on the second go, so that was a bit heartbreaking. Not particularly cruxy, but definitely consistent. I love the stone on this route, the cool brain rock, small edges, and plethora of edgy feet make it a classic for sure. Good day with a good crew, thanks Chris and Ian for making this a rad day out. 03518

Should never have went 2nd go but with some unrefined beta and a whole lot of grrr it happened. Like chasing after your escaped dog and then finally catching her!

Top felt very puntable, but luckily I didn't punt.

Effectively waxed my right thigh with duct tape before this climb would let me take it to the pump station. Worth the time and effort and the ever-present lineup; the latter made for fun belays, conversations (thanks Americans), and beta sharing (thanks Heather, Ingrid, Michelle, and Adam). So good! Get on it. Lucky 13th go. First of the grade.

Great route. After crux at last rest staring at the chains a few moves away I thought I was going to puke I was breathing so hard but kept it together phew!!!! First time I used a knee bar pad so that is neat.

Still goes with numb fingers and toes! Great sequence throughout the whole upper half, but I wasn't a huge fan of the 11b pitch.

Moderate climbing to a very distinct 3 or 4 move crux to moderate climbing. Fun stuff, but not sure what makes it THE line of the wall.

After-work climbing session. Hike in, warm up on this route and figure the beta, send 2nd go, hike out in the rain. For the first time this trip I was able to recover mid-route - endurance is improving. So far, my best ascent!
