So desperate to mark this as an onsight. I had the chains in my face and slipped off like an idiot! Was freezing cold, the flake was wet and loose, and my fingers and toes numb as sausages. Oh well. Another time. It's a good route.

Though Jane was gonna be out of the wind! I was wrong. Worst idea to go climbing! Almost got blown off several times. The route is great though. Though I had it in me to do the warm up-onsight trick, but got pumped through the bulge on some rather insecure holds, Excellent route. Will be back for the tick someday.

Excellent route! I really love it. Perhaps a little cruxless.... but that's what makes it good! It's sustained. Not as steep as Melting Point. I knocked quite a bit of rock off, so it'll probably take some time to come into good condition. Climb it! And wear a helmet!
