The climbing up to the last move is excellent and also varied… slopers, crimps, and small feet. The final dyno to crimp is a bastard though.

Another good working session. Changed beta at the top and stuck 1 time the huge dead point/dyno and found some micro foot beta.

You definitely can’t finish out left. The anchors are straight up on a large block in front of the dead tree. The final move is the longest. Very height dependent and no chance of holding the dyno sloper for my height even with toe hooks in the heat today.

Dropped the onsight slapping nothingness over the top, as close as you can get I guess. Figured out the final dyno after a few tries. Not sure if it's meant to top out via the sketchy block and mud pile or traverse left to the nice anchors??

Pretty easy to the middle until you get to the tough slopes then a wild dyno finish off a half decent sloper. Would be scary to commit on lead. Could be a classic with this type of finish.

Nice looking climb with a variety of edges and slopers. Difficult crux finish. Overall nice flow and variety. Will link next climb.
