4 out of 5 stars Followed

I'm pretty sure we started in the wrong spot, but we certainly finished with a ton of exposure.

3 out of 5 stars Laybacking is fun

Followed my buddy. Funky start, unless you're tall.

5 out of 5 stars 1st pitch only, on TR

I know, "TR?". It was the last climb of a 3 day stint at Ship. I was beat. It didn't seem too hard on TR, so I'll try to lead it next time, for sure. (famous last words)

5 out of 5 stars A variety of climbing

I lead the first R pitch, my buddy lead the second. I thought I was getting the "heady' pitch, but after following the second pitch, I think he got it. Crazy exposure up there.

4 out of 5 stars Had to learn to use my feet

Horribly hard if you do not use your feet. After several attempts, I learned that I had feet and then I used them. So much better.

A lot of rock humping to required to make the turn around that lip/arete.

4 out of 5 stars Didn't think I could do it, ever.

The feet were killing me, but this time I did (on TR, of course). With that win under my belt, it's time to move on to the gear. Looks like good gear where you need it, just have to figure out how to get it placed without blowing it.

4 out of 5 stars Glad I looked at the topo

I tend to route-find myself into bad situations, so this time I looked at the topo before I tied in. I'm glad I did. There are so many features that one could easily get off route pretty quick. Gear down low is a little scarce, but only adds to the excitement that's coming.
