Onsighting Jacob's Ladder

This lead came at the end of a great day of hard climbing, including my first 5.10b (on TR, but still . . .). Though this route is pretty easy, it's also pretty runout before the first bolt, maybe 20 feet or so off the deck. Robert offered to place a cam to give me some protection lower down, but I wanted the onsight so I led the route as is. I did breathe a little easier after I'd clipped that first bolt!
