description
Starts just right of 'Grey Arete'.
Originally graded 23. Multiple retrobolts have tamed down the experience. Plus the later added easier left hand finish which everyone takes gives the impression it was overgraded.
For the true experience as climbed by Charlie, only clip the 2nd bolt to the break to experience the original scary runout weighed down with trad rack to lace up the break. Above go slightly right not left.
Has also had its name amended to something much nicer at the request of some good friends! A big thank you to “Hard Very” Tzvia for suggesting the slug theme. Charlie Creese
