Fell at the bottom, lowered, and sent to the top placing gear. A hard boulder on hand jamBs and a committing top on RPs. What’s not to like?

Some believe that this route is contrived because it is possible to climb the bottom boulder problem right of the bolt line at 24. I respectfully disagree - the bolts are placed where they need to be to climb it direct, and it’s well worth your time to do so. Awesome, bouldery moves unlike any I’ve ever pulled on a route - fridge climbing at its finest! Save some juice for the top too!

Thought I’d have another go today, but it’s really not worth the time IMHO. The crux moves are all on slippery glue, which is rather off putting.
