Dave Graham repeats Realization 9a+!
It’s an amazing wall. It’s totally natural. Really interesting moves. Sweeping overhang. Blue limestone. The holds go up this blue streak, all pockets. On the sides of it there are two peach-colored streaks, a really cool contrast of colors. You’ll be looking down and all you can see are a few dots of chalk. |
