nice - did P1
first time up this, P1 is a nice warm up. lots of variations.
Aren't tons of gear in the first 15 feet but the climbing is easy.
P2 outta my league :)

w/ Daniel & Jenny
Didn't find any good gear for the bottom ~15' or so, then mostly small cams & nuts, eventually some larger gear higher up. Had a hold move on me unexpectedly, even called "take" once... haven't been climbing much lately. Not a bad pitch to finish the day on.

An okay route
Lead this route with the intention of setting up a top-rope for some beginning climbers. Nice bolted belay station, but otherwise unremarkable.
