Fantastic route. The scramble to the start is easy. Didnt even bother eith the finger crack at the bottom but should have had a go. Felt a bit run out at the bootom and on the big crack i took a long time placing a shitty hex. Crux move at the top scared me but i was able to protect it witha good nut far out left.

Went 1st go on lead after figuring it out top rope. The crux seems more difficult for the tall. Did a difficult stand up on the left leg instead of the rockover with right. 1 move wonder route with extra spice coz of strong wind.

Gets spicy after the fork left with Climb high. Poor feet/smear with small crimps. I my opinion has more hard moves than Climb high. Runout for the chains but good holds.
