The cracks width changes from fingers to hands.

I don't like this route. Every time I climb it I think that I should have climbed something else.

I thought the gear down low was pretty easy. This thing eats gear, especially stoppers and hexes. The climb is a great warm up.

Never forget the time Johan ad I got up early to climb after a big party. Hung over beyond belief but determined to climb. I'm up 30 feet just kicking this routes butt and Johan yells up. Are you going to place any pro? At this point the route was almost over.

Great climb to do on all passive gear if you want practice placing nuts!
