Description:
5 pitches, crowded due to its overrated reputation; pretty much a chosspile; climb is runout and dangerous. ANOTHER OPINION: Take the left variation start. Nice layback. It is not runout, the crux isn't that hard, you can get pro in by your feet after the crux, and if it is crowded, start early on Sunday morning, and you will score booty from people bailing the night before. It is a fun route and I got to share belays with a really hot chick while my partner had to share belays with her boyfriend. The FINAL opinion: pay attention on the mantle. Some guy who thinks it's "well protected" breaks an ankle here annually. Johnny Woodward's favorite freesolo in the park.

Onsight ascent by:
Craving nuts
Did p1 &3. Foot slipped off at the crux on p1 but I had just placed a purple bd so it was clean fall. Glad I led it!

As good as I expected it to be
Lead P1-P2 and P3. Route was really good. (First ones on route at 10:30am after a rainy morning). Perhaps a little harder than I expected it to be. The crux of P4 would be pretty scary on lead but Eric just jumped from the left jug like it was nothing while I right heel hoked with a little bit of trouble. The view from the top of Manure PB is amazing.
