totem pole
On my os attempt I got a little right of the route after the traverse, I put all my weight on a seemingly solid jug which appareantly wasnt feeling very immanent. Pulled it off and took a 25 foot fall, swinging back around to the front side. After cheering out some adrenaline I looked up to see that the rope had caught between a v and the sheath had çut, exposing four feet of core. Got back on after a few minutes and got the rest clean, bring a .75 for the top.

beautiful day
Classic! An AZ most do! I did it in a single pitch easily with no rope drag using alpine draws. The crux at the top stymied me for a bit. just had to get my feet high and make the reach to the crimp, slot micro nuts deep in the crack and you will be well protected to make the move. The route potential in Lower Devil's is seeming endless. Kudos to the FA!

logging in to report my 4 th ascent,since late 90's.
Second was with Fritzski(1/20/2004)..
Today with Nestor G 1/24/2011. Enjoyed each crux. I use the
tiny single finger pocket just right of thin seam ( nut place) as a transition to reach finish. CM

First time in AZ
My buddy Andy set a fixed line on the top. I jugged and aided my way through pitches 1 & 2 with 1 arm. An awesome day!

One of the best QC has to offer.
So Glad I got the OS! The first crux took me a minute to figure out.
