Description

A mega classic established by climber and stuntman Dan Goodwin in 1984 that remained little-known until it was repeated by Alex Honnold in 2011.

This route has only been climbed by: 1. Dan Goodwin (1984), 2. Alex Honnold (2011), 3. Hazel Fidlay (2011), 4. James Pearson (2017), and Michael Larson (2019), but it awaits other strong climbers. Here is a video on Larson and his partner Jay Conway's 2019 effort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waKyfmNKodE. The uncut video is also on YouTube.
