First Ascent post break? Feels like solid 27 (easy 28) to me but needs consensus.
You get a great rest before the crux. My beta is RH crimp, LF gaston to the undercling; right kneebar, bump RH to crimp then change left hand to lower undercling bring right hand to where left was and set up feet for a big move to the left hand side pull jug (cut feet and high left foot). RH to crimp, bump left hand up and get a left kneebar; RH to small gaston. LH low crimp switch feet and then get the jug above the chains. |
