BETA ALERT (Don't read if going for onsight)... Closeup of crux holds. The whole crux section is like a v7 boulder problem. This hardest move is a hard reach with poor feet off these half pad edges. The good hold that I reach for is out of the picture. I get my left food matched to the rail that my hands are on for the move and downturned shoes help a lot. Basically p2 is a 15 foot V7 boulder problem sandwiched between 5.10 climbing
