This route tops out, and you can rap from a tree with nice new purple webbing. On lead I laid back the crux section, but that involved running it out 15 feet and I almost fell getting back into it. It was a lot of fun and the top offers a good view of Sore Heel Hollow, especially if you walk a bit to the right after you top out. I'm very curious for some people with actual offwidth skills to climb the route and share what they think the grade is.

The cruise up to the crux is a lot of fun. That last bit of offwidth with no feet is a real challenge, the kind that makes me want to keep trying arm and elbow and foot jams until I find something that sticks. Left me kinda scraped up, but happy, and glad I wasn't leading it

Thanks B.J. and Ynot. This is the first in the Red B.J. There's one trad FA I did on The Farm.
