Escaping the summer heat in the cave. "Fear of the Dark" (8b+/5.14)

This route was trendy in our area this summer. Me and several other friends sent it, after it not seeing repeats for a few years. It has some really cool 3d-climbing in the cave with lots of tricks. The cave was consistently ~10 degrees cooler than the outside and a welcome change for the summer heat.

People will do anything but use the v-metric system…

The fb scale is literally the metric system of climbing around the world and I even included the imperial yds scale for Americans lol
