Very good pitch for the grade. I like the variety on it and of course the roof pull which was fun and physical. I did a gear belay on the obvious ledge and we soloed up the short crack to the left for the walk off, no worries. Good to combine with Ball Bearing.

Good stuff
A lot of fun, split it into two pitches if you want any sort of communication to happen.
