This was a practice aid climb for me, and the first time I actually tried aid
climbing outdoors. Up until then, I'd just been playing around in the gym. I
did this by myself, but with a top-rope backup (using a grigri). The climb was
actually hard, as many of the placements were just crap, and the sandstone
seemed really crumbly. Twice I had a piece blow on me, and another one almost
blew.
