If I was told this was an HVS 5a, I wouldn't question it; and I only 2nd' it.

We were hard men back in 1997. Mind you, I don't know how I seconded the first ascent because I had my leg in plaster on the date given. Maybe I held the rope!

Pumpy on the arms for a VS 4c. 1.5 friend and small wire protect the crux
