Nice!

Looks like a nice route on good rock. So how did you like it compared to say Silent Running or Total Soul?

Re: Nice!

Thanks Martin!

I thought it was a notch harder (P1 and P5) than Total Soul crux pitches and more sustained (though fewer pitches). Though much of it is pure friction, there's a good dose of crimping on it I thought - much more than the 3 OC Rock routes. Overall, I liked TS and SR better actually - more pure friction climbing and the lines are more direct/aesthetic IMHO.
