Refried BrainsOne of the last routes on Black Velvet Wall for me, yet I have to say I think it is underated. For the grade, I thought those first four pitches made for a real nice route. I traversed on the 2nd pitch, out right of the corner on a hard move to follow a different line up and right. Sure folks are doing both corners there. 1st and 3rd pitches were quite stellar I thought.

Great climbI forget the exact date. This was an exhilarating climb, especially leading the run-out final pitch on old bolts.
