4 out of 5 stars Not as hard as it looks

Stuffed a Tshirt into the lip to prevent the rope from traveling back into the crack and possibly interacting badly with pro/getting stuck - works great for the leader, but only marginally well if one's second falls early. After sending this route I can now graduate from level 3 to level 4 on the SCMA crack list. yay!
