Interesting move to the pockets if short. Would give two stars with different bolt placement, as others have noted there is potential to get shitmixed on the slab if you fell before clipping the third bolt, especially if you traverse a bit high.

Hey DoD, in my opinion, this is a worthless pikers-variant link-up which adds nothing to the crag except confusion on the topo. It doesn’t even straighten out the line as cleaned in description. My vote would be to delete it from the guide to try and assist with clarity about where the original routes really go. People can always link them if they want.

Thanking Mr Ben Moon for the moonboard.
This climb is basically two moonboard problems stacked upon each other. Sharp crimps, big throws, "keep it super tight" moments and the "ahh its done jug", overall a pretty awesome experience. Best way to earn the badge of "boulder bro" whilst on a rope; the only regret I carry is not having my hands chalked up via Tokyo chalk.
I have taken so many hard climbs for the grade, I think I might as well be content by something on the softer side (deep down the inner purist is crying as I type this). |
