8a.nu

The crux first move is 8B+ on it's own, with a tricky ~8Aish sequence still to do after you stick the start.

Third ascent.

8 years later. With campus-board beta because my span is slightly too short to keep good tension on the low feet. Amazing how there's so many different ways to do the boulder dependant on one's body type, each providing similar difficulty and top-tier nuanced movement. Proudest send so far. [2]
