Easy warm-up. Cool to get a chance to place a #5 on something :)

Fun warmup
Nice little off-width section, felt a little soft for the grade.. I'd called it 5.5.

Top access route
Led this mostly to set up some harder adjacent stuff. Not exactly a great warm up climb imho b/c it's got just a few short sections of climbing mixed with scrambling. It is good to have big (#4,5) cams for the wide stuff and the "crux" move that puts you onto the mid-level ledge. As mentioned in a prior review a cleverly placed small cam can supplement the big gear placements in the chimney (I used a .5?).
Note that it feels a little different than some other easy climbs since it's negotiating a wide crack at the crux.
Also if anyone else TRs this be sure to leave directionals as the swing would be pretty spectacular and could bowl someone right off of "Team Jesus", etc...
