5 out of 5 stars Trad lead practice

This was my first trad lead. It provided good variety of crack sizes and an incline that allowed one to be stable on small features.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad at all

Felt true to a 5.6, unlike most of the other climbs we did at Zoo Wall that day (they felt harder than rated). Nothing spectacular, but still fun. Good stances for being able to get a good look at how the pro was set and clean it if you're just learining to do that.
