wonderwoman newbie Registered: 08/11/08 Posts: 45	I just led this on Sunday and would agree with the PG rating, but not R. Having a trusty belayer that I know will keep me off the ground was helpful for the lower crux (plus my pieces were good)! I was able to place two cams at my feet before the last crux. As I was placing a c3 behind the tiny flake, I got hit in the face with a rope that was knocked off the ledge above me. That was the real crux for me! But I still managed the onsight. I liked this climb! Edited by wonderwoman (09/09/10 08:10 PM)
