Actually a very nice climb in the end. There's some really great pro if you find it. Placed a really bomber number 6 BD stopper followed by some bomber number 3-6 BD micro stoppers. The last placement I had to do blind, which is iffy as there is great potential for it to not seat well! Good backup options lower down though.

3rd go after taking some scary whips.

onsight attempt hampered the lack of a foothold at half height, otherwise good first attempt, looking to return for the redpoint...

Putting in lots of crap gear is the same as putting in some good gear, right? Insecure.

scary warm up

Thought about leading it, but the rock here is so brittle though I wouldn't risk my femurs.

Really nice! Great edges, delicate feet and balance with some fun crack work!

From the ground it looks easy but when your on the wall finding finger spots in the thin crack well that's much harder. But what a fun climb.

Felt quite insecure on the first attempt, needed some internal coaxing to trust the gear.

This is much less death defying when you have an arm full of micro cams. Hardly felt like I was about to have my ankles obliterated at all

Desperate! Tried leading and fell. Sam got the send and then just as I was about to second it the rain smashed us, resulting in a rappel clean.

What the hell. Nuts popping everywhere - but very fun. Maybe launch into with micro cams

felt very hard, but pro was good (micro nuts and .1-.5 cams) but if you have thin fingers it will likely be a lot easier.
