"This thing was on top of my wish list since I heard about it. This year I finally got the opportunity to meet face to face with this 80+ meter beast. I like to believe that I was made for this route, I enjoyed every single move one it but the journey to success was far from easy. Itโs probably my hardest route to date but my opinion is that this route doesnโt even need a grade because itโs so legendary. I believe that every climber who did and will conquer this monster in the future will feel something incredible. The last slab is a killer but thatโs why the whole journey is so special, nothing is granted until the very end. I admit I was very proud on myself when I clipped the chain and looked back from where I came from. Epic!"
