4 out of 5 stars Exposed

Sure blows Powerlust away. Full on sport route with a tricky crux but not too powerfull of moves. A little pumpy through sections and not too many great rests. A must do on the leap ticklist. Just a little grainy from lack of traffic.

5 out of 5 stars A fantastic route!!!!

This is a very good and almost overly-protected classic face route at the leap, the only difference is your actually doing fun moves instead of the standard mind numbing dike mantels that the leap is famous for. The route has several thin moves that lead to a roof that is fairly simple but there are a few moves after the roof that are pretty tricky. In conclusion this route deserves to be done more and was a blast to climb.
