[Hide Comment] Pretty much like Chase the Dragon and Chronic - the bottom is uninspiring, but the top is super fun pocket pulling. Jul 13, 2015

[Hide Comment] Crux is reaching and clipping the first bolt (if climb up to it directly).

Lots of interesting climbing above which is not so much less difficult. Jul 23, 2017
