What's the crux? It felt like pulling off the big sidepull to the next horizontal was the toughest part, but I was pumped out of my gord?

Amazing! Bouldery and sequential with an awsome flake feature.

*beta alert* Heel hooking that little spike down low is so solid but feels so insecure

This thing had me walking around half massed for the last three days. First 12b, super excited and proud. However, 10 minutes later i got on Mercy the Huff and instantly got fixed on that baby. Something about the red in October that makes a grown man cry. Get on this route and man up. Awesome movement to more fun moves to an interesting finish. Thank you creator

7 years later... You should just be content that you didn't wet yourself when you had to bear down on the opening crux Gramps ;)

LOL, last comment was from me. Wouldn't want anyone else to take credit for that. If it is any consolation, I finished up one of my projects yesterday that I had down to one hang... back in 1999.

Per the BadBolts.com bolt report: "We left the permadraw at base of climb."

Scratch that last comment -- wrong crag, wrong route.
