Route Info

The hardest redpointed route on Kami. A desperate traverse left across a barren face in the middle of the Tarantula route leads to a far western cave.

Crux 1. At the start keep at least one limb on a hold for as long as possible If accidentally release it, you won't have enough stamina, retreat to the rest position.

Doesn't matter which foot moves first. After grabbing the first hold, do 2 more steps if possile, feet can slip while you drag your hand, but they're less likely to during rest shake.

Try to hold the crack with both hands, crack extends ~1-2 palms after the texture ends, bring feet more to the left. If left hand didn't reach next hold, you can grab it with your right, if you didn't waste your second shake yet.

Crux 2. Bring hands more forward, but keep left foot left of the hole for the rest + chalk to work.

Crux 3. Keep hands a bit higher and put 1 foot on the slight incline for the rest + chalk. Next left foot is good for stamina, but it slips without giving control of the foot, so you have to be ready to immediately select it and put it back on the hold.

Crux 4. You have to aim left foot on an invisible good hold behind a black dot. Move every limb only once or you're likely to fall. On the vid I didn't move far enough and my foot barely reached the hold and slipped. Barely saved it.
