outstanding thin crack with short reachy crux on poor feet. I used aliens from green to orange, and a blue-green hybrid is a good crux piece.

Gorgeous crack. There are several good small nut placements. Tried the face to the left afterwards. Starts with fun mantels and then blanks out to super thin face climbing. Spit me off..... but fun!

The face to the left is "Pinch a Loaf" FA Petch '04 or '05 I think.

I gave it a feeble attempt one day. Petch came walking by and said it was shoe and temperature dependant. Unfortunately for me, it seems to be talent and skill dependant as well.
