my first at the loaf
Some nice moves through the midsection after the first set of rap rings. The bat hissing was hillarious...

Cool route!!
Two small nuts protect the seam. There is a bat in the right crack down low that was pissed off and hissed at me. The climbing is super fun and a little reachy. A little run out on easier terrain.

Fantastic route
Placed a ball nut and a small nut to protect opening moves. The crux for me was after the first bolt to reach a knob on very precise and committing moves. Felt harder than 5.8.
