A 40' lead fall on P5, and all Denmark has to show for it is a scraped elbow. I'd be smiling too . . .

1st pitch of Groover looking up <br> First belay at the tree is about 12 foot shy of a 60 meter rope. <br> (original photo by xfloors)
Kara following the down climb/traverse pitch. Down climb a solid 30-35 feet before traversing over, so awesome!

Looking up P2 of Groover on Laurel Knob. The route goes up and right from here following the crack shown above for the next two pitches. P4 involves a facey traverse across and up water grooves until the crack is regained for P5. P6 follows Forbidden Fruit up and diagonally right to the top...
