Second go - didnt fancy taking the fall off the top - probably easy 7a+ but feels harder due to 'spice'.. AWESOME

made it to the crack, but kept slipping out... apparently it needs to be cold, not warm and humid, excuses aside, its a very dropable, but cool problem, need to get stronger (and possibly taller- damn you giants!) to get established in the crack...although not many holds at the top...

Lots of tries to get the first half wired. Fell from the top slopers twice before success. Confirmed I'm too old for falling off high-balls.

Great problem but not much fun falling from slopers at the top. Hopefully successful next visit.

Quite highball but good landing zone, you'll want at least 2 pads. Best font 7a+ in the county...
