Description:

On the right side of Blackwall, this offwidth which turns into a wide undercling is tricky, and requires more ape maneuvering than technique. The Crux is the undercling. Bring your determination and some big popeye forearms.

3 out of 5 stars grunt

grunt. The technical crux is switching from offwidth to undercling. the grunt crux is finishing the undercling and grabbing that huge flake.
