Awesome! I led the first pitch and my German friend stole the next two, then I finished with a fourth. Would go for it in two next time.

Absolutely mind blowing, the face is bigger and more exposed than anything id previously experienced, stepping out from the chimney onto the face was truly daunting (Esp for a VS!) Would have come to Araps just for this climb!
