Re: Looks great!

You should - it's really a great route, and doesn't always form as nice as this.

Re: Looks great!

Is it in the shade all day? Do you think it'll last for another month or more?

Re: Looks great!

It is in the shade all day - and the route next door "Shades of Beauty" is one of the first routes to form and last to leave. I'd say there's a pretty good chance it will be there in a month. It's such a narrow route, you pretty much have to walk to the bottom of it, to tell if it will go or not. We were looking straight across at it from the other side of the valley, and weren't sure it would go; but once there, it was obvious that it would.
