Show βeta
βeta: Crux becomes obvious when you find the elusive magic left hand crimp on what looks like a flat section of wall. There is a micro crimp 12 or 18 inches to the lower left which you can use as a brief stopover on the way to the proper full sized crimp, but it's not vital. Don't try to knee bar to grab the magic crimp, then you'll never reach it. Super fun route! | ||
