Fun

Finally got a chance to lead this thing. It's such an excellent climb, really casual and laid back. It was a great feeling knowing that I had been in school no more than 2 hours before I was starting up the first pitch. An awesome way to spend the afternoon.

The lead is much more fun than the follow... naturally. Again, be sure to bring some trad gear, since there's only 1 bolt on the 60 foot 2nd pitch.

My first multi pitch lead. I loved this route. The second pitch was absolutely incredible. The weather was perfect and the air was clear, and I could see for miles. The exposure is unbelievable as you go around the arete. This is definately a must do when visiting the Gorge. Just because the 3rd pitch isnt that tough, it's still a fun addition to the climb. Without it, the climb seems to just kinda end abruptly. 2 ropes will let you rap down from the top of the 3rd pitch, or you could just scurry off lunch ledge.

I've climbed this once before, and finally went out and led it. Great climb, really relaxing. I'll definately be doing this one many more times.

The route was a little tough to find at first, but once we got on it, it was great fun. Really easy, good for just a casual day out on the rocks. Yeah, it's kinda bolted, but a couple trad pieces really help the run outs. Only did the first 2 pitches to Lunch Ledge, then went up and left from there to the rap rings above Jim Dandy for 2 raps on dual ropes down, instead of the walk off. The second pitch isn't very well defined, but just shoot for the trees up and right of the ramp around the corner from the belay station, and you should be good. Great views, overall pretty cool, calm climb.

Great climb I have climbed many times before. Decided to give it a go on my first trad lead. Much harder than I remembered, but it may have just been the nerves. Ok gear placements, and a few awkward stances, but overall a great route, especially for TR.

Great climb if you trust your shoes and have great footwork. Lots of small footholds, but they're solid. My buddy led his first sport lead on here and I followed.
