Flash Flash ascent by: sweetblood on 2008-09-02 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Boston

I had toproped this before. Leading it was a little scary, because at the crux (it is at least a 5.6 move) I suddenly remembered I hadn't led it before. It's a very awkward little move and it would be too easy to peel if you underestimate it. This twist makes it a very enjoyable, short climb.
