Easy but eats big pro.
I led the first pitch and the crack ate two # 5 camalots and two #4s and I could have used another #5. With a sixty meter half rope I was able to reach a small verticle crack past the horn, but only just. Rope drag is rough on this one. Seconded the second pitch. There were a couple 5.5 moves but mostly 5.4. I started the lead on the third pitch but we had to bail due to weather.

Great warm up
First solo. Fun climb and fast to complete. Overhangs were the hardest to mentally overcome. Sweet and easy solo.

beautiful, fun climb
great climb for me to practice placing gear, being new to trad and multi-pitch. we were blessed with sun all day to melt most of the snow. topout was a little scary, as I found out climbing shoes suck on snow. fun route, but hard for us to discern the route after the arch ended.
