Onsight ascent by:
Great for the new leader
Fun route that protects very well and always seems to have good holds. No real crux. DCA lists it as 5.9, but it's VERY soft for that grade; 5.8 at best. By far the most dangerous part of the climb is crossing the chasm just before the climb starts. Be careful!

it does have great pro most of the way but at the top it gets pretty thin.

Fun moderate
This is a nice lead with good exposure and a great view of the river valley below. Soft for the grade and very well-protected.
