Hard for 5c

An excellent route marred by less than excellent bolting. Most of the bolts are not next to the logical clipping holds, so that the route would climb well with draws on but is needlessly hard/uncomfortable to OS.

Anyway, I went the wrong way at a few points, got senselessly pumped, then sat and lost my desire to continue 2/3 of the way up.

Also, the chain looks nasty!

2nd go. Fell on the OS on the long dynamic move. Tiny but great value!

Did I do it wrong or is this super hard? I did one of the clips off an inverted mono, and crimped so hard at another point that I pinched a nerve 🤣.

Brilliant, varied and absolutely not a pushover. That surprise slab up top... I probably would have fallen or sat if my ego hadn't refused to allow me to fail on a 6b+... Really difficult onsight with zero chalk on the holds and tropical conditions.

Nice aesthetic line, with some real arête climbing. Would be classic if it were longer.

Guter Kampf
