Description:
12 pitches of exquisite granite on the huge east face of Liberty Bell. Everything except the Lithuanian Lip can be climbed free at up to 5.11C, except the bolt ladder. One of the fifty classic climbs in North America. The Pacific Northwest's most famous wall climb. Don't miss it. on the third pitch instead of hooking a pink tricam fits in the pocket perfectly. Edit by Alpinfox: I think the grade is better presented as IV, 5.10-/C2. Free climbing up to mid 11 pases most of the aid. The aid sections are quite easy for C2.

Amazing route, but we should have waited for the shade.
Pre fixed the first two pitches on Saturday evening, then sent the route in 10.5 hours car to car the next day. Should have skipped the pre fixing! The early start meant we were in the sun and 90 degree heat all day. Aided pitches 1-3 and the rotten block section. Everything else went free at around .10b max. The upper 5.9 crack was burly yet awesome, one of my more memorable leads in a good while!! Got totally fried, but it was totally worth it!

Classic
Aided the aid pitches (except for the first hard pitch). Loved the last two pitches the best. Very good route - just a shame about the ending; it kind of peters out.

really good
absolutely classic. We french freed the first pitch, aided pitched 2 and 3 and sat back a couple times later on. The moves onto and off the rotten block are kinda trickey.

It's not 11c.
The grade should be IV, 5.10-/C2. The more free climbing you can do, the faster the route will go, but if you can only free climb 10-, you will be able to do the route.
