led p1,3
Sammy led p 2,4 (traverse) tried to go for the wide crack up top but decided against it w/o the wide gear. Sammy led the hardest pitches- sustained 5.8.

Another LL
classic. Never found the bolt and pin at the top of the 1st pitch that are on the Supertopo. I disagree that there is no real crux. The 2nd bulge on the 2nd pitch felt cruxy to me.

Awesome route
Personally liked it better than bear's reach. My partner came off slipped and hit her back (backpack) at the sustained cruxy part of P2 (watch out).

Awesome
I enjoyed this climb more than Bear's Reach. Steep and bulgy with plenty of great pro. Great moves that make you think, but aren't too hard.
