Feedback on this one has been amusing. I truly think there is no move harder than 22, and it's not sustained. But if you approach it thinking it's going to be an easy warm-up you may be in for a shock.

The "moonboard crux" on the face is pretty punchy (V7 on the MB
 ). It may be impossible for the shorter climber just due to span. You want to pull with your left heel to go the distance. Not a good one to try in smeggy conditions.

I thought this was 30 when I established it, and it possibly was with the beta I used. Smarter heads prevailed with the beta, so now 29, and I've heard suggestions as low as 27(!) Time will tell. More importantly, it's a pretty unique piece of climbing for this part of the world. [10]
