With David from the UK along with Overhanging Hangover....did Dream of Wild Turkeys last week, nice direct start is this route, which lands you at the bottom of pitch 4. All three pitches were full on. The first involved some tough slab moves, the 2nd had an above grade move at that bolt...stay low, swing left and hope for the best. Pitch 3 gave no rest, edges, crimps, edges, left, right, left....I prob had the wrong sequence of feet and hands at least 3 times! Very nice route overall, maybe a little stiff for the grade. Nice mixed line.
