3 out of 5 stars A year and a half of yoga...

I hadn't been able to get the upper slab on two previous tr attempts but yesterday I tied on a new pair of anasazi blancos and committed to it on lead. Red point crux was the year and a half of yoga it took to make the high step reasonable.

p1 to the first anchors, index 11b ish, 2 bolts, a piton, couple of cams and one end of a quick draw slid down in the weird hole. Deserves at least a few stars for the oddball nature, cool rails and sideways swinging dynamic.

5 out of 5 stars Cool short route

Just climbed this with the gf (fell at the crux) and think it deserves some stars...not as sustained as some moderate WA pass free routes (the passanger, freedom rider) but the top three pitches are really good and make for a pleasant short outing.

3 out of 5 stars Feet breaking?

I have done this problem several times but the last time I was there the feet felt worse then before...smears where edges used to be. Still easy for a v4 though. Get it while its still doable.

Second Second ascent by: ryanb on 2008-07-13 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing

Followed a buddies on site attempt on this, coolest alpine rock route i have been on.

The crux is scrunchy face climbing and felt hard/impossible for those of us on the taller side but you can a0 the bolt no problem and the rest is cruiser crack climbing.

Brudo says he was forced to exit left at the top in fading light on the FA, wonder if the direct finish through the roof has gone?

5 out of 5 stars Recentlly Cleaned

Chris S(?) has been cleaning this and the first 35 meters are now a fantastic mostly clean 10b pitch with a bolt anchor. Techniques ranging from fingers to chimney on stone that feels fresh and unclimbed.
