4 out of 5 stars First 5.8 at Moores

Very cool flake and crack climbing. Pumped out and fell ~10 feet from point of first pro trying to clean a small nut out of a thin crack. Rope stretch put my toes on the ground, which was a wake up call. A single 70m rope gets you to a ledge on the right from which you can downclimb 10 feet.
