23 Wafer Thin Fin - with zachary vertrees Sport 71m Very Good
Only 2 stars from me due to weird bolting plus I prefer carrots in wilderness adventure settings ... I feel it's a bit overhyped but it's certainly good fun ... Only seconding as I still need to work out what my knee can actually handle ... Simul- rapped in, and climbed out, on thin'ish doubles...

Typical day really...? Walked in late enough to see canyoners exiting as we leisurely strolled in ... got off track once or twice but knew the general direction and had GPS backup... didn't see any tape but didn't really need to... navigation and trackfinding is not too bad ...

Weird start particularly if not stick clipped and belayed from the ground ... might need to look at the direct start at some point ... and further investigate some other options...

Thought the first pitch felt harder than the second... second pitch was far less pumpy .. didn't need the draw to pull on on third pitch but missed a move after that and had a rest ...

Rapped down into gully on double 60's and climbed out on Welsh Dragon due to time constraints so that we made it back to the car by dark.and without needing to find the blue barrel of destiny... a great afternoons ramble.. I'll be back ...
