FFA. Stoked to Terminate the Groove Tram project at the anchor station today! First shot of the day after a few warm ups. 5 sessions to bolt, clean and unlock the sequences, get strong enough and not fuck it up. One of the best new lines i've ever done. Not super hard for Esk, but it's a banger of a climb. Thanks for all the patient belays peeps. Squeaked it in on maybe the last day of the season.
