The second right hand hold has broken and now is much more positive and needs some cleaning as of 4/27/2009. Won't give it a grade as I haven't topped it out. Pretty sure the grades here are wrong, too high.

Sent this today. Stand by my original thoughts that it is pretty soft for V6. Maybe V5. Yes the top is kind of funky and a bit scary, but that doesn't make the move any harder.

Chris -> DESCRIPTION: Sit start with left hand on the arete and right in the hueco. Use toe hooks, heel hooks, or campus strength to move the left up the arete and the right to the slopey side pull and pocket side pull higher. Get your feet up and work your way left to get both hands on the arete. Finish up while trying not to slip on the lichen. Good fun.
