5 out of 5 stars over too soon

nice but short, reminds me while somewhat easier yet similar to the P1 crux of Lightening Bolt Cracks.

4 out of 5 stars back again, better this time

felt easier following it this time. probably only 5.10+. Technical crux at second bolt and endurance crux near the top. Also felt pretty clean this time. It's a worthy route.

4 out of 5 stars good route -mostly 5.10

only one hard move between the 1st and 2nd bolt, got it this time on TR; but last time I fell on lead and ended up pulling on the draw(very tempting). Anchors are uninspiring.

4 out of 5 stars possibly the best route in WCC!

my first trad lead since I broke my ankle. this is a full value route, best squeeze I've beeen in in a while. lot's of good stances for placing pro with almost every move in between being 5.10. on mostly good rock.
I'd do it again!

3 out of 5 stars hard

hard off the deck then harder! 2nd pitch not bad despite the fact that my foot slipped and my partner got a rope burn before I stopped 30ft down!

4 out of 5 stars unknown

fell on the traverse when a crimp snapped- traverse is not hard but pretty runout, crack is good!

3 out of 5 stars R in noRth face! 0+0=1

w/ sed- see his description which is pretty accurate.

The run outs are long if you don't count marginal pro of which there is ample.
After all 0 + 0 = 1, right? ~as in a couple marginal tiny cams equals one good piece, at least it does psychologically/if you don't fall!

We carried more water than we needed(5-6L ea), especially since the creek was running and we could have treated some.

The wind was bitter cold the afternoon we camped at the base but a clear calm day as we climbed allowed me comfort wearing Tshirt, long sleeve shirt and fleece vest- a little warm those few times we were in the sun, a little cool on shady belays.

I also would take less big gear: 1 #3, 1 #3.5, doubles of smaller and a good selection of nuts,maybe a few hexes, and many slings rather than qd's. Dont forget your headlamp! & I wish I had stashed a beer in the creek for the hike out!

The descent: rap from a tree to the far SE of the summit. rap one is almost 100ft, rap two is about 115ft to relative safety.
