Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
First ascent.

An old aid route. Nyrie trained on an early example of a crack machine specifically for the route. It was climbed barefoot to make better use of the thin-hands sized crack and due to the limited availability of technical rock shoes in small women's sizes at the time.
