★★★ Suicide by Hallucination
— 4 attempts
- with
Alexei Drummond
| 10m, 2 | Kura Tāwhiti / Castle Hill Basin | ★★★ Classic |  | Fri 15th Dec 2023 | |||
|
Ambitiously thought I might flash this one, but ultimately needed a few attempts to sort out beta that worked for me at the crux. Nevertheless, I appreciate the spray down Alexei Drummond! Definitely a classic, but due more to history and uniqueness than to absolute quality, as it’s short and crumbly in places. Still, among my proudest sends in the Basin to date.
