5 out of 5 stars Toe Crack

Did this by itself after climbing up the standard routes first pitch. This is an awesome crack with more then enough pro.

5 out of 5 stars nice

you can lead a pitch below to the base of the toe crack separate. I prefer to do the whole thing as one long pitch with a 60m rope; just watch your rope drag if you do. The toe crack itself is solid. There are a couple good rests for placing pro; I prefer lowe tricams on this route. Have the second drag another rope, you'll need to tie the ropes together to rap all the way down. Be careful pulling the ropes, saw a guy get his rope hung up when the knot wedged in the top of toe crack. That accounted for I think my third lead of the route retrieving his rope for him. hahahaha... oh well :) bastard could've at least bought me a beer in N. Conway.

4 out of 5 stars Nice crack

probably not a good idea for a new 5.7 leader. you can traverse into the third pitch of Thin Air by climbing up a block in the chimney, then doing a totally unprotected 35' 5.5 traverse on edges.
