improved on Ollie's beta to gain the roof without much pump. roof seems quite doable for 23 - only a couple of hard moves before both hands find jugs, but my L hammy felt at risk of re-rupture with the high heel hooks so I let go

Wow what a climb. I took 2 rests (one at ring bolt and other one bolt from the end) this time but I will come back and get it clear. It climbed a lot different than it looked from the ground, took me a while to get brave enough to launch out on the lip to the anchor but discover that it was not too bad.

nice, got stuck when you have to use the head wall on my OS attempt. with beta, shouldn't be that hard

Really cool headwall moves leading to the final jug hauling festival. Heel hooked so hard that almost my shoe came off. Will be tempted to skip a one or two draws next time on the roof.
