4 out of 5 stars Slabby at the top

Good route. Fifth clip was the hardest for me (awkwardly clipped with left hand while manteling with right). The slab at the top was sketchy, so I went way left to the crack. Sustained fun route

Nothing to write home about. The bottom isn't harder than the rest, but a piece is probably a really good idea.
