10m. Once derided as too short and too polished - now that short is a virtue, and everything else is just as polished it doesn't seem so bad. Hard and slippery all the way. © ROCKFAX

Went for the flash, but struggled to reach the holds from Trevor's foot sequence. Ended up using a sharp crimpy foothold for my right hand instead of using the obvious gaston near the 1st bolt. 1st session, 4th RP?
