Area: The Hall (Upper)

Description:

<p>Vladi belayed me for this one. Opening moves were cool and tricky a mix of full body stemming, chimney climbing. Pulled the bulge to a nice ledge in a slabby dihedral before starting the traverse left on the slightly less than vertical (on the slabby side) face. After 4 attempts I backed off to the ledge with pink tricam in place and .4 at first but switched to a .75 to the left of the tricam and help from a local Robert. I pulled the crux move (IMO) left shallow 2 finger gaston, high right foot reach up to a right side pull. Also had a slopey left crimp but used the side pull to place a .1 and traverse to the jug ledge. Remainder of climb was easy to the belay bolts.</p>
