Mango Kiss

Start with your right hand on a cool, mini-hueco like crimp, and your left hand on a small, crimpy gaston, both at about head height. There is one option for your foot, and it’s a barely-there micro edge. Pull on, hope your foot doesn’t blow, and crank hard to make a left hand deadpoint to a good edge. Bring your feet up, smear, and hit another decent edge with your right hand. From there it’s easy climbing to the top but it’s not over just yet, as you’ll encounter a somewhat featureless top out, so be prepared to commit to a mantle/high step to finish things up.

Two stars for now; has the potential for three once the middle section cleans up a bit. A desperate start prevents this from being a four star classic though. Fortunately the start is on bullet rock.

Slightly down and to the left of Rain Gutter.

Pads, and a spot is always nice.
