The proper slab start (unprotected until you get to the crack) deserves a more difficult grade, particularly for leading. Tim did a few moves on lead, bailed, did an easier start to the right and traversed back to the route. The slab start is practically blank with only the tiniest crystals to work with. Fun crack/slab combo climbing throughout, an awkward finish with a poorly protected traverse topping out into a steep wide channel between two rocks.
I am happy to have had an opportunity to climb/second this route, but I will probably never repeat it or lead it. It's great fun, but it feels like the flake that makes the main crack for this climb is not long for this world. It's incredibly hollow and moved slightly with the touch. Even if the whole thing doesn't come off, it feels like sections of it could. 90% of the protection for this climb goes behind the flake. It just doesn't seem worth the risk. |
