4 out of 5 stars Lead

Slightly bouldery start but it's all there even for a shorty like me. Great stances, great gear. Nice 5.8 lead intro.

3 out of 5 stars seconded for Matt

Hard start and awkward crack for me. Matt really liked it though so perhaps its hand size dependent (bigger=better jams). Good pro throughout.
