4 out of 5 stars Pretty good.

Roof is fun. I'm 6'3" and I was able to get my feet up in a good-enough position, lock off on a crimper and reach through a bit of the crux I think. So it didn't feel too bad.

4 out of 5 stars Hindsight being what it is...

It took some struggling and hints from redisant, but I finally made it through the crux! The rest of the climb was a cakewalk and ended up being really fun!

5 out of 5 stars Zambezi Hatchet Head

Pulling the roof is for sure the crux, after that it's pretty easy climbing to the top.
