Good hand holds on sharp limestone rock. Pumpy moves over both overhangs up lava tube. Got it on 2nd attempt with rests.

First climb of the day being too casual, hold broke off just before 4th clip and took massive whip, hurt my forearm so couldn’t pull on left hand at all. Waited for the other boys to send then sent first go on top rope, virtually one handed.

Whoever gave this two stars was ambitious. One or two interesting moves, but save your energy for something else!

Tick it if you must, nice lunch spot at the top, but can't access easier grades of Eastern Seaboard. Give plenty of warning to your belayer, heaps of loose shit!

I personally found this harder than waterline, but it was mostly psychological. The overhand portion had some committing moves on lead. Waterline had committing moves, but in well-supported places. I took a fall here, but very clean.
