Bouldery interesting movement.
Great to finish with the glory 5.10 extension after the send. Makes the route feel much cooler and ups the stars in my mind. If you tick this you need to take glory laps on the two next to it for the trifecta for full domination of the pilot so youll never have to return.

Top Rope ascent by:
Not even close
We had a TR on this after working Blind Prophet so we thought we'd see what 5.13 feels like. After a little while some of the sequence started to appear, but it was not easy. We flailed and jugged around the first few bolts just to feel out the holds and moves and were duly horrified. Looks pretty bad-ass if you can do it. It will redefine what a "jug" is after you've been flailing on the minuscule crimpers with no feet.
