[Hide Comment] A beautiful dihedral that is as powerful as it is technical.

As you pull on those smaller than you wished crimps, you may find yourself flashing back to the crux pitch of the Moratorium, several body lengths above your last 0.1, imagining the late John Bachar, in your shoes, without a rope, questioning your very existence as a trad climber. And then you’ll be overwhelmed by the warm comfort of those steel bolts directly at your hip. And you will feel glad. But a piece of you will be reminded of a past you can’t escape, no matter how many bolts you clip. John Bachar’s ghost calls you. You must go back Apr 17, 2023
[Hide Comment] An excellent sport climb that feels like a trad climb. Felt about on par with scary monsters in j tree for difficulty, but that one is quite difficult at the grade. Finger size might make a difference on this one. Apr 21, 2023
