Sit start on a white flake on the right arête, bump to the plate and trend right along the sloping lip to the arête and finish. In mid 2022 a right hand gaston broke off. The climb still goes but is maybe a grade harder.
Put a lot of time into this one. Thought it would go down a lot quicker but the gaston pinch hold went missing at some point. Beautiful climb, awesome movement, but happy to finally put this one behind me.
🪄✨The spell has been broken. End of last spring I felt very close to climbing this beautiful boulder FA’d by Paul Barraza. Then I pulled really hard on the crux gaston key top out foothold and it ripped off. Several sessions later with support from the homies @shawnaja @wesleytrents @Jwoo @ericb I understood how to climb it. Special special line, worth the journey in to cold stream canyon.
