The last half of the route is not bad, nor is the start, however there is one showstopper move to link the two and get your feet above the roof.

all 3 of us thought the right version was significantly harder than the left version although none of us did either. close to linking left... holds are soooo sharp. better temps and i'll have in for sure. right version the juries still out on.

The issue with this line for me has been super sharp holds down low and insecure moves up high-- the holds up there are a bit licheny and sandy. It's a really cool looking line though, and hats off to whoever can pull off the beginning to above the roof.

i was very close on the left version but it was a rather warm day and i think it hurt my chances being as the holds are razerblades and the one good slopey edge was in the sun so it was a little hard to really purchase on. those holds are real sharp though. no lying about that. Whoever does it is gonna have to want it.

Dobbe came close to the send today, but our fingers got the best of us. Sharp holds for-sure. Next time it's going down!

The friction was good today, but the finger tips can handle only so much. Dobbe, your so close.

yeah for real. and someone also broke the small hold i was using to get to the watergroove. small little pointy chip before the really sharp small crimp. jerks. i tried it once and was like forget it. its to hot and this thing hurts. lol.

Some one must have broke it before I got on I don't think I ever saw a nice hold just sharp or not there at all. Keep trying someone needs to clean this one up.

I don't think it is going to go with this heat. When we were there on Wednesday the first sloper that is one of the better holds felt super bad. This fall it should go.
