Never been on it. I stick to climbs that are significantly easier if your tall. I did flash Turkish Resin without dabbing, but I am not sure how.

Haven't been to horsepens in four years.

Heh, yeah. This one is a totally dabtastic problem for people with long arms/legs and frustrated the hell out of me for years.

You need to go back to HP this year man!!!!!!!!!

Good choice Jo. Did the top freak you out? I got a huge charlie horse in my leg once making that move before the anchors. Fun route for sure.

hey, way to go Killer-Jo! That's a super fun route and a great first trad lead!!

kinda... that was really the only hard move. my partner told me to save a big cam for the top. i was sketched by that placement so i put in the yellow whatever above it just in case. when i got nervous i remembered my practice lead falls on (borrowed) gear and the fact that it all held and went for it!

it's a SUPER fun route!

I was wondering when we were gonna get to climb with your girl, that may be the difference.
