Nice!

Great shot of the leader. Fun route, not as good as SR is for pure slab climbs, but very fun. Interesting that you thought pitch 4 was the crux, I thought pitch #1 was. There is one move just below the anchor that made me pause several times before getting through.

Re: Nice!

Thank you very much Martin.

I thought P1 was kind of the psychological crux - i.e. no warm up and you're in 5.9 slab terrain. But I thought that the real crux was near start of P4.....it's all mental with these slab thingees anyway - who knows... :)
