Description:
This route is just around the corner from Salathe base. This climb starts out with some hard 10a fingers and the crack gets wider as you climb higher going into some OW. A hard climb for 10a. Bring extra large gear!

Onsight ascent by:
nice and hard every move of the way
no need to run it out on the bottom
control and poise will allow one to get gear in to prevent a grounder, after that choose the gear and place it well
the climbing widens till all the large cams are used
hopping the cams and staying clam were the ingredient for
a good solid climb
not at one point did i feel out of my element
like the wide stuff
the anchors will allow for a top rope on ahab
not a fun climb wide and bulldogish

guess I need to work on fist...
ran the start way out on the fingers and hands, then had to battle once the crack was taking 3.5's. Know what to work on now...

Second ascent by:
Nice
Get good pro low. Upper section provides solid fist jams. I had to stack in a couple of places. Sustained 5.9. Two 60m to get off.
