Second Second ascent by: toeknee on 2011-02-25 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars just tagging along on a fun day

I wasn't leading, so might be wrong, but I seem to recall the start didn't have pro for the first 20'. Lots of great little knobbies to climb on so wasn't hard, just kept your attention.

3 out of 5 stars not the best route in the McDowells

Fells more like a sport climb than a mixed route. There is about a 25ft part on the first pitch for sm to med pro. The second pitch is run out after the forth bolt so you can run it out 40ft to the top or you can take some large cams that go in 15 ft from the top. Two 60 meter ropes tied together will get you down to the ground, just barely. So descend in one rappel at the two glue in rappel rings at the top, left of the where you would put the sling bialy.
