4 out of 5 stars Lots o' wide

Placed a VG12 to protect the opening OW moves, and a 2 and 3.5 camalot in the rotten upper flake.

For P2, I placed an old 4.5 camalot down low, then old 5 camalot and 6 friend, plus other gear for the remainder of the route. One or two more big pieces would be nice to reduce the runout.
