Redpoint without chalk send. Maybe graded a little high.

Nice work. What should grade be? I lowered by one for now. Still don’t know exactly how grades feel but this felt like white to me.

I can tell that this is definitely not a white line or 8

#

I dunno, Im not the best with grades but with no chalk a 5+ -> 6 is probably appropriate

Copy.
I must have been missing a hold cause first time felt easier than the time I did no rope.

#

Hard to say- I had trouble getting a good hold on the right foot on the initial move up into the final crack and it cost the send that run.

#

does the name for this need to be direct finish? is there a great roof route sans direct finish?

#

You can go around right. Probably should call that exit stage right or something.

#

You can also go around left

Did this my second run through the game. This was one of my favourite little routes of the game. Along with one a little before this, where you go up the needle more directly via the chimney rather than circling.
