Ascent of The Thin Line of Reprieve by Macciza a.k.a. Macca

Rack of DMM's, rack of Totems and half a dozen small-med offset Metolius, plus a rack of wires (only 2 got used) and Zac still had gear left over at the end ... as usual, and ledge to ledge as a single pitch with direct finish continuing up corner to CDS belay ... the obvious and natural finish in our view, no need to bail onto the slab, stick to the line ... a 60m makes it as one pitch this way, though dismantle belay and climbing up to start of route(tied in and ready) makes sure ...ymmv..

Anyway was hoping I'd be able to stem more but instead found a lot of had to load my bad knee quite a bit requiring weird techniques at times and ultimately a fall or two... lot of stretch on 8.4's left me well off line and a short jug or two was needed to get back to the climbing... direct finish was pretty good and should clean up ... will be back at some point... great climb as done, not sure on grade until I lead it ....

Ran into Neil and Frothy out there on their respective projects and had some interesting discussions about stuff an' things ...
