As the Cliff Turns - 5.8

Great moves, a little dirty. I had no problems until the second crux over the roof. I got a good nut in over my head, but couldn't muster the strength (courage) to get over it, so I down climbed a bit, set up a good anchor and got lowered. Mike J. followed my pro to the top (the reach on the last move was not a problem for him). He wasn't able to clean two of the nuts, so when he got down, despite the darkness, I decided to have another go. I led the climb again, this time in the dark, with a headlamp, and was able to clean the nuts. I topped out with the 5.6 variation, the original route, thus bypassing that last difficult move. (The hanging thorn bush was a small price to pay.) But I'll be back...

but cool moves
