4 out of 5 stars be sure to stretch

amazing moves that are a little above my lead ability right now, but I look forward to redpointing this route. not incredibly long, but sustained. pretty technical slab between first and second bolt with a stretchy hand foot match (at least the way I did it)

The crux was definitely between the first and second bolt. It was very thin and took us awhile to clip the second bolt. One of the guys in our group clipped the second bolt and sent the rest of the short climb with relative ease. I wasn't about to go through the hell and danger clipping that second bolt so I just did it on TR. It wasn't as satisfying but still very fun.
