i suppose it's 5.8 because you can stem off of the sides of the dihedral?
looks like it would suck up pro though.
nice route shot. | | Posted Mar 31, 2004 1:26 pm |

Hasn't voted | It's not really overhung. The most popular way up the route is to lieback it, but I've seen successful stemming, too. That flare is the crux of liebacking moves, requiring a switch to jams. It's usually toproped. | | Posted Mar 31, 2004 1:43 pm |

Hasn't voted | It's defintily not overhung, just climbed it a few days ago. The top 1/2 is actually slabby. Fun lieback crack though. Hand over hand, I can still feel every move! There is one point near the middle where a fist jam is appropriate, however. | | Posted Mar 31, 2004 2:15 pm |
