FA: Mikey Schaefer, Sept. 2007.
This new testpiece extends an old project into spectacular terrain on the steep north face of Daff. The short first pitch (actually the 3rd pitch after a couple approach pitches) was completed in the ‘90s by Dave Bengston and Chris Falkenstein, and was a sandbagged 5.12c called Flight of the Albatross.
