If a big move or dyno is used to reach top out sloper with left hand from the undercling, then it is a hard 7A. If the right drop knee is used to reach slopey crimp near crack with right hand before the aforementioned, then it is a soft 7A. Therefore 7A is good middle ground rating.

The incredible rail project. Cray beta. Twist like a pretzel. Sit start with the flat undercling at the bottom of the wall and climb straight up and out. So psyched to finish this one! One of my prouder first ascents.
