Don't do it.

First pitch: pretty standard WNC 5.7 face climbing with great pro. Second pitch: Unsatisfying 5.8 moves to a hanging belay. No good placements (not with standard gear) for an anchor at the belay; you're limited to slinging a large flake. Third pitch: SCARY 5.9 overhung crack. Nice. This would make the climb, IF THERE WERE ANCHORS AT THE TOP. Ok, no, I don't need bolts...but at least give me a good slot or some blocks to build a trad anchor! Any way you slice it, the top is bleak and you will have to go far, far right to find acceptable anchor placements.

sweeeeeet

Mmmm, now this is a beautiful climb. Led both pitches. The second is especially fun--can you say overhung flair chimney? :D Fabulous exposure. Very heady second pitch. At least one WC 5 Friend may be appreciated here.

didn't pull the 5.9+ variation this time...

Man, this route is so much easier when you don't try and pull through the roofs... : D

Pushed it through in 1 pitch--the route has great flow if climbed like this. Fabulous weather and views.

Top Roping No More!

I've been eyeing this route for too long. Finally led it, last route of the semester. A good way to go out.

Ascent Note

Cruxy start; got caught up enjoying the lieback--should have made a placement somewhere in the middle. Placing gear on this section is probably easier if you lieback facing the shuts and not perpendicularly to them, as I did.

Did this as a two-pitch climb, taking the second pitch as my second trad lead. Loved it. ; )
