I continue to be amazed that I did this line back in June 2020 when I had been climbing only a little over a year. I have casually often tried the moves and sections again over the years and they have not felt any easier even though I am much stronger and better climber now. This makes me think the line could possibly be even a 7B. Now doing this topo and reflecting upon the fact that I could pull off this feat back then as a much weaker climber I started to think the old name I had for this route ”Escape from the bear’s nest” was a little bit too nonsensical and did not resonate with me anymore so I gave it a much more fitting name ”Climb or Flight” which might partly explain why I managed to do this back then.
Rock quality is excellent for the most part. The bottom of the cave has a couple of annoying chossy holds but it is not a deal breaker though it causes a loss of a half a star. Other lost half a star comes from the landing which is manageable but only barely.
