Very cool route. Got lost at the very end of P2 and took a hang. Not sure what the correct exit is...ended up doing a boulder move foot over head mantle onto lichenous rock, which was clearly not correct, and hung on what turned out to be my stance piece. Turns out the topo line was wrong and has now been corrected.

Challenging/ hard and scary. Not the best rock in places. Had to take once as was super gripped, normally would go for it but the gear/ holds felt sketchy/ dangerous, best not take silly chances. The fact that I OS a 20 and 21 before might have lead to the energy drain, maybe. Will come back fresh to finish the job.
