Re: purty corner.

Thanks. Nothing big here like what you prefer, but it is fun.

Ah, memories

I remember thinking this was rough for a 5.5. Of course, I was soloing in old Nike's, so maybe I was wrong.

Re: Ah, memories

That's a 5.5 I haven't touched. It definitely looks a lot tougher than Stan's Lead.

Re: Ah, memories

Stan's lead, ah yes. I thought that was more of 5.4+ ;)

Re: Ah, memories

Newer books put it at 5.6. Just climbed it today for the first time on solo TR. The start was stiff but the rest was all there.

Ah Juliet...

It s on my check list as of today. This was a definitely though 5.5
Beginning is pretty tricky, but very entertaining climb. Watch the descent route...
