nice route, akward anchor, easier than B-2

No comment

Great place to spend the day and be able to get on a lot of different routes. Bring a good amount of webbing.

Fastest way up.

.

This climb is a great lead for intermediate trad climbers. It's a pretty solid two/three inch crack all the way up. I had a hard time placing most of my gear. There are a ton of 5.1 moves but the placement of protection is very difficult and in one place runout. It was a great climb though, I liked it a lot! Placing an anchor up top was pretty simple too. Great climb but just be aware of problematic protection placements.

Easy big crack.

Free soloed "The Trough" while Joe and Alex did their first trad lead on Walkaway. Eventhoug it's a 5.1, it's J-tree and it feels harder.
