Couldn't figure out the crux

Need to work on this one

This being the hardest climb I've attempted outdoors, I was a bit scared but I surprised myself by getting to the crux without any rests. With a little projecting, I think I could get this clean on lead. Eventually. The cruz is pretty desperate though. Where do I put my feet!

The beginning is really cool! I love stemming across the gap. The last few moves are easily the hardest. really slabby desperate moves into a couple of nice jugs on the overhung face.

First attempt. Worked the moves through the cruxy second and third bolt and topped it out.

Really nice route. Interesting traverse on blocky laybacks and then steeper and thinner to crux reach for jug off of left and right crimps. Rested on the rope twice on this first attempt and feel it wouldn’t be far away fresh with beta.

Very fun route! Jugs and crimps along the way, crux a couple bolts below anchor, but nice side pulls and crimps

Fell off the crux more than 5 times

So close! Too tired

Hard!

Felt close

Closer.... but a bad landing left my pelvis a little worse for wear. Might need a few days off

Overrated. Wet up top too.

incorrectly marked in the book

What a pumper! The crux is thought provoking .. need to come back and really do some milage in

Pumpy start - lower crux gave me some grief. Loved the finish.

Not the best warm up, enjoyable climbing nonetheless. Start is quite technical.

undercling squish green goo fun

Not gonna send any time soon

Still need to figure out the beta for the crux. Trying to go way left probably works but probably off route?

Figuring out best move through the roof
