The Contrarian – 5.12c


8 bolts
FA: Toby Foord-Kelcey - 2019-06-17

Description:

*07/27/2025 The second permadraw's gate is really stiff and tends to stay open after you clip it. It probably just needs a little oil.*

Follow the shattered dyke to a mid-height ledge. Cross the small overhang then traverse right into the crux groove. Amazing rock. Lateral thinking helps.

    Happy to get it done in a session. Surprise send on the 3rd go. Really enjoyed the final boulder on this one, but engaging all the way.
