This route was a beauty, not a 5.11c I don't think. The hands were great, but my right ankle was killing me, and I brought the wrong shoes so my toes wouldn't even fit in the damn crack hardly. I finally resorted to climbing it with both feet in the crack, moving my right foot up and then placing me left hand on the wall and bringing my left foot up and repeat for 120 feet!!
