βeta: This route should be re-named Africa. Is this a lead or a boulder problem?

βeta: first E grade was quite dissapointed with the beggining but as i am short pulled off a nice dyno to "west coast" on "africa" then topped out with ease thinking the flake was going to drop off any minute can't compare with any other e2 so a good route

βeta: Crux is leaving the ledge, but there are no further 5c moves - I made the first hold on the Africa flake and then raced to the top without stopping. Really nice, compact route - easy E2, easy 5c, 2*.

βeta: The crux is leaving the ledge, the rest is steady but protection is poor.
