We warmed up and then started working the problem. It is quite tall with the crux moves coming high off the deck so it took us a little while to get our heads around committing to the moves. After a few goes I slapped for what I thought was the hold on the crux move but hit blank rock instead.
Thinking I had remembered the beta wrong we started trying other options and spent a long session trying to find a way up the problem. After falling for quite a while and trying to figure out what we were missing I tried slapping for the same hold I had earlier, this time I found the crimp I had missed earlier and stuck the hold. I came off that go but we both sent the problem shortly after we figured out the original beta had been the right sequence after all.
After a long session on small crimpers we were not feeling in the mood to try any other hard problems so we packed it in and called it a day, happy to have another problem ticked off the list... even if it took longer than it should have.
