Right line on the Nightshade Boulder. Start low on left hand flake crimp and right hand rail. Do some intro moves into a big span left hand, right hand comes up to a sharp two-three finger crimp and then a big gaston move crux. Finish straight up the bulge, or finish right along the arete for an FA.

I couldn’t take 13 points for this one. My height helped vs the first ascent. Regardless this line is incredible. Can be topped out straight up but doesn’t seem to add much difficulty and is very scary. Maybe next year when there is a snow landing!
