Grade Route

A showcase problem of the area. Sit start with both hands on the flake below the lip. Traverse right to a difficult mantle. The name is a reference to Ryan Moran who first took interest in the problem.

On the far right side of the boulder problem of Mr. Moran is a boulder that sort of suspends the Mr. Moran boulder. Start sitting on this boulder with a good undercling on the left hand and a slopey sidepull on the right. Pull a long move left to the slopey corner (never touch Mr. Moran boulder), do a tension left heel and static the last hard move to the good slopers above. The difficulty lies in not touching Mr. Moran. The name comes from the advent of Maria's hardest send (Nov 2014) and the advent of our homecoming to Mexico
