cool route, fun crux with fun holds and thoughfull climbing all the way up

Fantastic - once one knows where the hidden holds are.

Led it first, which was an exercise in clumsy and scary because I hate leader falls. Toproped it in what must have been record time a few minutes later. ;-)

the best warm up, so smooth with two harder moves

Who needs beta? I do. That's who. With the beta in my head, however, this will go, no problem. I love this climb wholeheartedly. It's just awesome. The crux is awesome, the triangle hold is awesome, the no hands hammock rest is awesome, the cliff is awesome. Wow.

10a is Rumney grading, by the way.

Great, 100% worth your time.
Already gripped pre-tie-in, I had to OneHang at the Crux. But the whole rest of the way there were enough creative rests that I could climb the whole thing pumped.

Great climb! No hard moves. Just keep going.

I couldn't ask for anything more out of a 10a. Jugs where you need them, Muscley crux, and that perfect triangle. Really cool route, and make sure to take full advantage of the chimney rest.

excellent route
