so relieved to finally put this one behind me. Just had to believe and try a little harder. Thanks to everyone who helped me a long the way and stuck with me through the "epic-ness" of this route, and my emotional roller coaster. So many thoughts on this one. But the main one is: if you're going to clip the crux draw up (Rob), be sure to unclip it on the way down so us "shorties" don't have to skip the (low) crux draw - memorable for sure! And thanks to Luke Olsen for the Dave Pegg beta and spirit to give me a little boost to go for it and skip that draw. Daniel Brechner for the belay. Tomer for the honesty/heckling of telling me to try harder. And Pawel for all the support during my first year trying this and putting up with my ups and downs.
