History
4. heinäkuuta, non forgotten classic?
This route has been tried a lot, but it hasn't seen too many tops. And it's not about the height or number of moves. Route centers around one pocket hold, first you pull on to it, then you lock off from it. There is a good crimp at the end of lock off where you can top the route.
Route was cleaned, projected and first done in 4. July 2001 in evening sun after long day at work. Right after sending the route it felt like 6b+. When returning with friends, route did not feel that easy anymore and It took a couple of sessions to second the route by Tomi Nytorp and Tuomas Einiö. Grade 7a+ was mutually agreed to be closer the truth.
