Nice of you to pause there and place pro. I was so pumped out by that time so I flew by that thing and did not place a single piece in the crack above the last comfy stance. Did you jam or lieback there? Lieback worked beautifully for me!

Re: Pro

I did a combination- I just scrambled/face climbed up the first block leading up to the crack, then did some wedges/foot jams/2-3 hand jams where it fit. I did a lieback for 5' or so, plus getting my feet outside of the arete/into some pockets on the R as necessary. That part of the climb was really fun!

Yeah, this is exactly what I did for the entire crack. It was hella fun!
