4 out of 5 stars Good moves

Crux is passing through the relief in the roof b/w Aenea and Endymion. The roof is not as extreme for this route but there are thinner holds. But the holds are where they need to be to get through it. Very fun line. I thought this and Endymion were both easier than Aenea which is rated a 5.8 (only for tall people).
