23 | The Lifetime of Opportunity - with Hannah Rose | 18m, 5 | Average | |||
No tick. The crux move was a reach compression deadpoint slap with smeared feet above a ledge. Kind of made committing to the ledge fall move at the crux less enticing. There is a great mantle move near the start but other than that everything was absolute max span and quite intimidating
