That looks hard..

looks like it calls for some commitment before you can slot some gear in?

Nice action pic!

Re: That looks hard..

Thanks man!



It was too hard for me. The start calls for a 2 handed power lockoff with feet hanging in the air. Then you have to release with your left hand and grab a hold, then do a hard crunch to get your right foot up unto the lip. Matt made it look easy, but I enjoyed practicing my aid climbing (pull on the rope) here. :-)-



Gear looked good before you pull the lip (cam where Matt's hands are).

This is an awesome route--as is Meat Grinder to the right of it (I believe). The crux was definitely where you described. Getting the feet high, crank the move, and you are set! I loved this route! -Natasha
