Description:
Superb route on the face between Ye Gods and Candy Corner. It's possible to back up the fixed pin with a nut on a long sling up and left but it still might be bad if the fixed pin blows.

Hang Dog ascent by:
stellar route, but kinda jammed in there
Five stars if only it were not a cramped eliminate. The movement and sustained nature is definitely some of the best around. Gear is better than I thought. The pin looks a little sketchy, but it is good. You can back it up with a pretty good wire, too. Run it out for 10-15 feet above that, but know your fall is clean. Pumpy route with very few true rest positions and a kick-in-the-nuts pump crux at the top. Blew my clean ascent when my foot popped below the technical crux. Damn.

Onsight ascent by:
Drop Zone
Heady Onsight. Damn topropers chalk led me into the bail out option into Ye Gods, so i had to back out, down climb 8 feet or so (cruxy as hell) and move into the correct sequence. Gear isn't too bad. 15 feet run out at most
