3 out of 5 stars A fun route

Pro placements looked sparse, so we set a TR and ran it.
Stick to the arete portion for more of a sustained challenge.

3 out of 5 stars A Thanksgiving Quickie.

Arrived at camp on Thanksgiving just in time to jump on this route before turkey time. Fun movement. My favorite route on this wall. Did the rest of the routes the next day.

Another challenging route. This one will take "some" protection, but you really have to look for placements. Not recommended.

Weighted the rope on the first try bc I thought that I was off route, but did it a second time bc I knew I could get it and did it clean...my first .9! Had the mp3 player to help me along.
