Slippery when wet
Only did the 1st pitch as a work around to get to Toe Crack. The crux is a slabby traverse out left and when I did it the route was streaming water. Took a 15-20 footer onto the lone bolt and then got back on it and barely squeaked the crux. If you see wetness it is guaranteed that you have too step in it be careful!
