I attempted to TR and failed miserably.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

you nearly flashed 'the fly 5.14d' in rumney and you think you need to get your ass in shape? I'd guess that your ass is just fine love. :)

if you're referring to this cory, no, I've never been on it.

I thought an alternate sequence had been found for the crux, but if you've played on it 20 times, you've surely figured the best beta, and we all know Bowles lack of creativity in that department! :)

I finally rp'd it last September 2008... A great route!! I think the 12b grade is spot-on. To appraoch that route without beta i.e. on-sight, would be a stout 12b lead..
