Taste the Rainbow v4
So very dope, downclimbed the pedestal, grabbed my bucket and cleaned the problem while on-route to salvage the flash. Very committing compy slab move to spooky top. Spent hours trying phatboi and came close, but could not stick to those slopers in the heat. The hike out sucked. Matt’s thinks far too highly of his problem here and he has no vision for not developing these amazing problems 10ft down the hill. Will be back for all of the lines.
