whoa!
liked the crux. not a hard move, but much harder than the rest of the route. Because of the big ledges all the way up you can get rests (if you need them) but i wouldnt want to fall onto one of them. This was the hardest 5.6 of the three i climbed that day.

Good lead starter route
Did it twice, the bulge at the top was an interesting problem.

Christmas Chocolate
Very fun route with many options for hands and feet. Easy, comfortable lead. Filled with no hands rests to warm up slowly on.
