βeta: Very nice climb but I think it was mostly because of the positions and location. The rock is really nice quality and has lots of very cool features but the lower half of the route was a bit too damp and vegetated for it to be the mega classic everyone seems to say it is. Pitch 3 is very run out but very cool climbing, felt quite serious at the top since it was wet there and would've been a huge fall The always wet corner on pitch 4 felt harder than VS, I'd say HVS 5a. Pitch 5 was amazing, took the corner crack (strenuous and wet). Pulling through the overhand is brilliant and very doable Route finding was tricky enough the whole way too, went too far right and did pitch 7 wrong but found the belay up top. Linked pitches 8 and 9. | ||
