Mike did some real nice climbing through there.

Sorry for my commentary in the vid.

Very cool!  Looks stout.  I did not even bother to look at the free moves when I did it.

its one that looks really do-able, but when you have to make the clips AND the moves, yoikes!

Cool to see.  Have not been up there, I always thought that section would be longer so I was waiting until I got stronger.  It looks doable.  He looked smooth even with 20 lbs of gear on his back.

yeah, the bolt line in the book makes it look longer. But it eases back to 5.8 or so where Mike steps his left foot on the upper big knob.

Cool and manly. It is a little longer than the angle the video was shot at seems to make it. The first bolt may need replacement.
