First, you have excellent stamina! No way I could I have held those positions on the rock for as long as you did while calmly plugging gear. Second, that's a 10a??? Looked way more difficult than that in the second half. The Devil's got high standards for sure. Good job keeping your head and getting the 'scend.
Thanks! Haha, I think it looks a bit steeper than it is in the video, its a bit slabby so you can really trust the feet and try to relax. I will say that this route felt pretty sandbagged to me compared to other .10s on the tower. And the second pitch is a 140' fist crack that is SOOO brutal. The Tower will show you how real 5.9 feels haha.
It's absolutely henious. Hardest 5.9 you will get on. Its like 140' of hard ass wide fists with no feet on the outside of the crack. It's a blast but an absolute ass kicker.
Haha, yeah my pet peve is stoppers coming out like that, especially when you kindof lose your balance a bit when you pull down and they pop. 0/10 experience with that nut.

It's my favorite place to climb ever, right up there with City of Rocks.
