Some really nice positions on this one, sick jamming.. crack starts making you get smart with beta at about half height, rejecting any jams in the wrong place, making for some slightly reachier than expected moves (for me anyway).. kinda similar to iron mandible in that the crack turns to awkward fists at the top making for an exciting finish if this is at the grade for you! (it was for me). Almost lost the onsight with a super sloppy mantle onto the ledge! Lucky theres jugs up there.. The pump was definitely present at the end. Possibly worth the third star imo lotta fun

Probably the hardest I’ve ever fought for an onsight. Think fatigue/injury is overpowering my enhanced crack skills. Actually said take at one point but it was too windy for Russ to hear me, or maybe he just wanted me to send...

Rock quality not good at the start, chalky sidepulls on the right are loose, but it's getting better after the finger crack. The hand carck is pure and beautiful. This is an option if you feel like picking up a 19 to onsight.

Absolutely stoked to onsight 19. Was quite a battle for me... maybe because I place too much gear? I'd say the rock quality in the first half leaves a lot to be desired but just keep climbing through it. Worth it for that nice jamming at the top. Some good stances can be found but I did find it more sustained than other climbs I have tried at frog.

Ahhhh boy the first half of this climb is full of dodgy, flakey rock... But the second half is beautiful hand jamming. The climbing is quite sustained with not too many stances to rest. Gear gets better in the second half!

Super stoked to have done this one! Loved it - from start to finish. Great gear, super nice jamming the whole way up - quite sustained, but you get just enough features to take a breather here and there. The start felt tricky and perhaps less secure than the rest of the climb (just because it was quite thin). Then, as the climb widens at the top (camalot #2-#3), there's a bit of a pumpy section, but once you power through, the rest is a scramble. Definitely recommend it!
