Kinesthetica
Nov 8, 2021 · TR. What a climb! Loved this one. After the fact, I wish I led it. Definitely some 5.10 moves. I especially found it challenging - not difficult - through a forward slash flake mid wall. Trust feet through this section. The roof was easier than I anticipated. Take a break, reach up and clip, take another break. Great heel hook on the right of the roof. Pull and you’re pretty much done. This is a great head game climb. Stay focused, breath.

Geisha Girl
Nov 8, 2021 · Lead / Onsight. What a head game! Excellent climb, but a bit nerve racking. Sustained 5.8 climbing. Super sketchy start up the crack to the first bolt. If you can, stick-clip… or place a cam. I climbed without protection and peeled out of the crack first try. Go deep and lock the feet. Once on the ledge, go up one more instead of trying to reach the bolt. Once the first bolt is clipped it’s easy (5.8) sailing with pretty good rest. Move, move, ledge rest. Repeat.

Bobby D's Bunny
Nov 8, 2021 · Lead / Onsight. Enjoyed this one. Great warm up for head game. Sustained 5.6/5.7 with lots of rest. Little funky around and above the mini tree on the wall - wouldn’t want to fall on that - but it’s all fine. Trust the toes and relax.
