Top Rope ascent by:
Thunder Crack
This was our last climb of the day. I clipped the top-rope through a sling on the pine above this route, with the top-rope set up on the Left Up belay bolts. As with most of the climbs on this section, the crux is at the very beginning, and the rest of the climb rolls back to much easier grade. Still a great start and some good layback practice and fun easy moves on the upper section. Protection looks very good for trad lead.

Took three tries...
to summon the courage to get to the first gear, but after I was above it, it was all fun and games.

Difficult Start, but fun route.
I haven't led this, but I can see how it could be difficult, very little protection.
