Another crack at TRS, this time on something harder. Figuring out some efficiencies in my setup & getting more confident.
As for the route, found it absolutely nails. The layback crux was brutal, and I think even without midday sun and shit condies I’d have had a nightmare on it. Ended up aiding through it, couldn’t get any purchase at all on the slick rock w my dirty shoes. |

Got it! Man that crux move (at the bolt) is tough. And I have no idea how you'd do it if you weren't 6 foot tall. Then finishing up the mini buttress is really desperate too, with one particularity sharp crimp. It'd be worth an extra star if it wasn't such painful desperation. Maybe when I'm stronger!

Not sure what category of climb to grade this as. I climbed it TRS to suss it out as a high-ish boulder, as all the hard moves are below 4-5m. The anchors are solid though so you might as well use them, although rope drag could be an issue.
Probably a V4ish reachy crux with a great undercling-kneebar on the rooflet and a committing high left heel hook to big reach for a jug. Maybe 18-19??? |

I was trying an alternate start, bridging across by the first bolt and also layback the corner. It didnt work for me this time. The route actually goes up in the corner-there were some blocks there to start from but they have been removed.

I climbed this a lot more direct than the topo shows. Dam hard at 23, but that could be because of the way I did it (except the top move is likely the crux) - need a rebolt. Bottom bolt ok, top one = rusty pox.
