Culture Shock - 5.12a

I first tried this route at the end of september in '06 and rested quite a bit past the first crux. After that this route has been on my mind ever since and I jumped at the chance to get back on it when I made my first trip of the year to Exit 38. The wall was pretty wet but I had to give it a shot and after my first try and a 15 minute rest I got phsyched and pushed to the top for the redpoint. This is one of the best routes on this wall, in my opinion, with great crux moves on positive crimpers, and awesome jug hauling up an intimidating, overhanging wall of high quality rock.
