βeta: The peg was replaced with a bolt and a double-bolt anchor at the ledge negates the need for the choss top-out. Originally climbed as an "ankle snapping" solo (at least to the peg); modern sensibilities - i.e. bouldering pads or clip-stick - reduce the danger but not the (considerable) technical difficulty. Font7B/+ or 8a/+. Easier than Caviar but perhaps not by much. The prudent may want a wire to protect the easy climbing from the break to the ledge. | ||
