Word to the wise. There's a sidepull/jug on this line which is flexing much more so than the last time I climbed it. Pull down - not out!

I expected it would have been gone a few years ago. I'm surprised it is still there. Has to be at least 3 or 4 years...maybe longer...since I first noticed the flex in it. Is kind of an obvious nut placement as well. Would be sad to pull off the hold and your gear placement. There is a solid jug in behind that little pointy jug that is solid.
Safety third!!!

Sounds spicy.
If women ruled the world there would be no wars, just be a bunch of jealous countries not talking to each other.

The best thing to do with line like that are to send them quick!!! Before the jug breaks and makes it harder!

If properly done most people would never know.
Once I saw this route in Quebec that had this huge block doweled to the cliff with rebar and epoxy. They must have had one long drill bit. If you looked in the crack behind the block you could see the bars going through the block into the cliff. I would have never noticed but the guide made mention of it so I was looking.
