Beautiful crack ranging from perfect hands, to tight hands, to fingers. Consistently 1s for a fair portion. Felt hard for 19.
Top pitch has a fairly hard undercut start to get established in the corner then east ground with barely any gear until the top out. Probably not 18 and probably only 15m. Next time I would rap from P1. |

Fantastic day out. One of the rare Blueys multis that really give you the feeling of being on a big face.
The 23 pitches are hard, the rest is probably a tough soft except for the moves off the belays. Highlight was watching Raph yard on micro edges to get through the P4 reachiness. 5hrs car to car with about 30min basking in the sun at the top. |
