Overhyped Route but still fun

Definitely not a 4 star route and has a couple spicy sections. Route finding can be kind of tricky too. If you don't bring big gear (#4's) for the second pitch it will be a bit run out, wich happend to us, our only #4 was in the belay below us.

Had fund on this route, but I was a little disappointed. Also, make sure you belay from the correct place for pitch one, otherwise you will end up turning it into two pitches, especially if you don't bring enough gear.

Slow day

Took us way longer than we thought, had to wait on one team to start ahead of us. Second pitch was my lead, I ended up wandering off into 5.9 territory and sketched out. Had to down climb and regain composure before finishing out the pitch. Also got passed by a guide and his two climbers, he was freeing every pitch so and bringing up both climbers on the same belay, so they ended up blowing past us around the 5th pitch. But overall, it was a great day. Despite the high temps it didn't feel too bad with the cool breeze.

CLASSIC

Great climb, loved every minute of it. Partner lead the first pitch, I took the second. Nice and airy! A number 5 BD cam will also protect the move above the small ledge to the first bolt, it might not hold, but it's good mental protection :)

Harder than it looks

Way harder than it looks. No hand jams here! All lay backs for the most part. Pretty strenuous climb on sketchy pins. They held my weight when I took on them though. A #3 BD cam is nice to supplement between the second and third pins. Or maybe it was 3rd and 4th. Either way, you will figure it out. A small cam will also protect the start to the first bolt. Not really needed though. Also felt this was more a 9+ or 5.10a

Ascent Header

Fun climb with a crux up hight, bolts are a little far a part in places. Fit a #1 BD in the horizontal down low. Also found a place for a small orange metolius cam before the bolt leading to the crux. Purely mental piece though.

Most of the route goes at 5.8 with a few 5.9 moves, crux is a couple trick 5.10 a moves, finishing move seemed like a short 5.9 move to the anchor, a really tall person can probably clip it after pulling the crux.

Second time and still fun

After climbing this a second time two years latter I would say this climb is definitely a 5.9. Sustained 5.8 with a couple 5.9 moves. Really fun route though.
