Awesome moves, rock, and location! Only detractor is the adjacent rock and it’s dab potential at the crux, but very easy to avoid with multiple betas. Highly recommend!

Sat started like the description says, but had to fold my pad to reach the start holds. Honestly a really good line in my opinion! With a 5’9 wingspan it was tough, but very manageable. I probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with less than a 5’8 span though.
