4 out of 5 stars beautiful

one of the best cracks I've done in Jtree. Stances everywhere, definitely more techy than pumpy, and awesome gear. the only way it could be better would be if the granite was not so course grained. Oh, and there is a more-or-less direct start (not the one marked in the shitty Vogel guide) which starts up a series of slash/seams that is not even close to 11+; more like 11a. I'm not sure why it is not mentioned.
