[Hide Comment] I really enjoyed this offwidth. The beginning was my crux, but I felt like once your knee is in, the difficulty eases off. Karl does have a kind of "intimidating" feeling, but there are awesome stacks, heel/toes, and knee jams to be had all the way to the top. Karl felt reminiscent in difficultly to the intro. crux of Mainstreet but also reminded me of an easier version of Jay's Solo. Great regardless and fun to not have to use a rope or deal with gear. I think I'll take it more for its YDS grade than its V grade! Jul 21, 2018
