22 23 Bloodline Sport 20m, 4 Very Good
Quite stout small holds climbing. I had height issues clipping the second bolt so on my clean lead i started with the first two bolts preclipped, the crux lies right after clipping the second bolts so i would be looking at a ground fall from worse holds since i couldnt clip early.
