5 out of 5 stars Awesome juggy goodness!

This route was super fun. I didn't quite have the fitness to send it clean today, but felt that it would not take much work. This gives me a reason to go back to Rumney.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome mix of moves

Start up a ramp, pull through a steeeep overhang, finishing above a mantle on teeny crimpers with a throw.

4 out of 5 stars Worth doing!

If you climb 5.12 at all, get on this route. The roof climbing is not hard. Great heel hook rest at the lip. Try to clip the bolt before pulling the lip (which is technical). Good rest after pulling the lip, then tricky upper moves - but if it were a boulder problem on the ground, it'd be easy.
