This was hard. To me it seemed quite stiff for 10b, although in retrospect, I suppose if I had seen the correct sequence at the crux, it might have been easier. Suffice it to say that it was very technical, and without the right beta, just plain hard. I tried to go straight up the vertical crack, trying to avoid the second crack on the left, but the vertical one tapered off to a tiny seam for the last few feet. Fortunately, at least the pro was good. I took a pretty good whipper here, then had to hang a few more times until I figured out that I needed to lieback to the left, and reach for the other crack.
