Bypassed 3m of committing moves above the first piece of pro, up Crackle on the right side instead. Falling there would not be ideal.

Unfortunately this is not a clean send, otherwise it was a flash. I could not figure out how to do the very first move, which turned out to be the crux, and went around it. It’s a really awesome route!

That crack is much harder than it looks. It actually overhangs. Aided through on lead to clean the dirt. I seconded it clean, but it's powerful laybacking. The traverse kick right move is so cool. We found a really cool pitch here.

Marked as redpoint because I had rapped down the wall to check out gear and features. I couldn't make the mantle move work so ran it out left to the dodgy flake and traversed back in. Quite heady doing route finding on the FA, climbing into and out of dead ends and traversing around to find a line. Matt found the mantle move works with an undercling. This headwall is awesome! | ||||||
First ascent, semi ground up! We ended up doing the wimp version through the roof. I tried the roof but pulling limit moves off a single microcam was not doing it for me. Needs a rap inspection to ensure there is gear and map out the moves here. The headwall is awesome, lovely climbing, protectable but you're going over the roof into the air if you whip!

If I climb it again, I'd link p1 with p2 and p3 with p4.
