4 out of 5 stars I guess I didn't find the right beta!

Was a very powerful and out of balance move the way I tried it. Fell at the crux.

5 out of 5 stars Fun climb, 1 move wonder

Nice climb, really a 1 move wonder at the crux. For me, it's a dead point to the upper holds off the horizontal. It's not over, however, till it's over. Fun climb.
