From July 25 till Aug 19th, it rained 17 out of a possible 26 days. Now that's frustrating when you're living on the road. At least we caught a nice short window for this climb. We walked up to the base of the cliff, saw this obvious crack system and went for it. We had no beta, no guide - just masters of the obvious.
