βeta: When it comes to the crux (first half of main face), I'm not sure of the difference between this and Christopher Columbus. You can't use the top of the boulder or supporting block on either, you stick to the lip on CC but I couldn't see any useful holds higher than that anyway. With this you start further left and finish further right and get 2 grades less. There are better holds higher on the second half of the main face but still doesn't seem to add up.
