4 out of 5 stars Fangoria

This was a lot more fun than I was expecting and I sent it sooner than I was expecting too - on the first day.

Clips, beta, starting it if you're short, all took a bit of figuring out. I couldn't do the big move after you pass the tufa and so I had to use alternate beta there. Where the crux is probably depends on your height. But once I figured it out it went pretty well. Pumpy. I can definitely see hanging the draws would make it harder because some of the clips felt kind of high already.

I've never done Jade, but I actually felt like this was one of my easier 12a's. Maybe it's because the crux is toward the bottom.

3 out of 5 stars .

Fun. Pretty easy to read. Some interesting feet. The middle section has a couple ways it can be done. Felt a little easy for the grade, just steep. Should've onsited but I botched the middle sequence. Lowered and ran back up it for the send 10 min later.

4 out of 5 stars worth a run

good tufa pull to crimps and then jugs. not sure if the last bolt is intended to be clipped from the roof hole or from out left. route is not obvious for last 15'

4 out of 5 stars *

Sent second try after figuring out the beta and clipping stances. Pretty exposed clipping the last bolt. I was hoping for an onsight but the clipping stances are a bit tricky to read and I pumped out trying to figure them out. Once you know the beta it's still a pretty tough 12a though. I'd say upper level 12a, close to Jade's difficulty.
