southern sandstone is built different but it isn't unbreakable as some people think. In this instance, the holds out left were wet from runoff from the side of the boulder, but the holds deep within the roof which we were climbing on were fine.
@@eric.jerome It isn't unbreakable, but the glue that holds the sand together isn't water soluble like it is out west. Every route at the Red gets yarded on 1000s of times a year while wet, and that rock is substantially shittier than the stuff further south.
