about time
I finally led this route, I tried once before but didn't have enough big gear and then didn't try again. This climb is very akward, especially geting into the corner to start. It's graded 5.9 but is your typical 'Burly' OW/Fist crack. The top is nice and easy though :)

Tough & Tricky
If you try laybacking this one the entire way you are not going to finish this climb. You can lay back on parts but you end up having to use jams. The side you can layback switches part way up which makes it tricky. An awesome climb, I think as good as sleeping princess!
