wow
this thing is quite a sight from the approach, and doesn't disappoint when climbed. stellar moves, and hard to stay calm with all those big moves. and just when you think you can clear the overhang to a slab stance, think again...

Big moves...really fun
Big moves on great holds.
Did this one at the end of the day with no warm up after the hike in - 1 Fall.
Should go back and redpoint it - but I don't really like redpointing climbs, I'd rather go climb something new.
The way the route takes you up and to left makes it challenging to keep your feet clear of the rope path. I've heard of at least one person taking some big upside down whips on this one.

Stunning
The most incredible route ive seen in person. Captivating. Beautiful blank face with perfect pockets. Side pulls - underclings - gastons and even a heel hook. Perfect. Pumpy tall big moves.
All that being said it beat me up... Bolt to bolt form the 3rd or 4th bolt and took some massive whippers on the second try at the end of the day... It will go next time hopefully.
Get on this after a rain...sure you cross a river coming down the wall and commit to wet hands...take the no hand rest right after to dry off and chalk up... lowering under the spray from the waterfall of run off, in the sunset?! UN-believable!!!
get the red point...lower back to the ledge and take the king swing over the valley.
