3 out of 5 stars South Face

I find this pitch every bit as entertaining as Call of the West....but it is less popular. Prob due to the start which is a bit run out. Start left and traverse in right. One slabbish lay back move gets you to decent pro. The upper bulge via a hand crack offers a fun and dynamic move, not as sustained as Call of the West's flared crack, but as much fun.
