It is making me drool on to my mousepad when I see the photos. Here is the secret beta for climbing the route: slap the dike, fondle it, drive your knee into, try to stay on with no hands, palm the big bulges and crimp the small sensitive features, if it gets elusive just follow along by tip toe. When your off the dike kindly untie the thing and let someone else have a go. I want to go climb this route again. It is making me drool on to my mousepad when I see the photos.
