Flash, but not in the best style. I had the second bolt pre-clipped because I didn't want to break my leg on the first day of the trip After climbing it I realised it would have been just fine as it was the moves from 2nd to 3rd that form the crux.
Thought would be a nice warm up for the day since friends had draws already up
Real easy up untill the crux at the top, but then turns it on quite a bit for a couple of moves, deffinitly hard 21 ifnot 22, supposedly holds have broken that made it easier beforehand?
Tried once in 2014 and couldn’t hold the holds on that terribly wet day. I did downclimb it to preserve the flash, and I’m glad I managed to 9.5 years later!
It was a bit anticlimactic, was expecting to dyno off terrible holds, but I managed to lock off (the holds were way better than I remembered) and it went very easily.
Super happy with the flash, even doing the Cruz the hard way, went left hand to the crimp before the big move out to the jug instead of right hand so had to do a gigantic cut to make the jug but managed to keep it together!
Amazed I got this out, was just going up to try get the draws on for my belayer, managed to stuggle past the crux and kept on pumping. despite being a short climb i was totally pumped by the end.
After climbing it I realised it would have been just fine as it was the moves from 2nd to 3rd that form the crux.
