looks great!

Question- Alois rates the DSB A1, 50 Classics A3- are there different variations? What did you think? Would love to give this a go later in the summer!

Re: looks great!

I think it's likely A2, but I didn't lead it. The gear is all there, and while there's a bit of rope trickery to get into that crack (up, down, over) it goes pretty smoothly. Take small wires; the BD offsets were very helpful.
