Ascents in Krell Area as Hang dog

Tough but rewarding start. Pleasant climb for most, but the crux out of the high ledge is not easily navigated. Height definitely helps to the just out of reach, beautiful jugs, but the tiny foot holds and smears make this a testing crux move. With the start and the crux, this climb would be better undertaken by assuming the route is graded an 18/19. This was our third grade 17 for the session in the area, and incomparable to the first 17 (Chastity hat), which we thought to be a good graded 17 climb.

4 or 5 dyno attempts at the right start, almost stuck 2 of them, surely harder than 17, gave up and climbed Krell start. Very dodgy bolt above big horizontal break/cave.

Maybe next time. Now that I know how to do it...

Didn't place pro between BR1 and FH1 - with the runout this is probably not ideal.

Needs re-bolt, plus deck potential at top
